Thus, automobile lightweight is a basic way to fuel saving. In order to reduce the automobile weight, there are two important methods 3: One, automobile parts are redesigned to optimize the structure. By using thinning, hollowing, minitype, and compound parts, car weight can be reduced. The other, more and more lightweight materials, such as aluminum alloy, high strength steel, composite material, are widely used as lightweight mate- rials to replace the traditional materials like mild steel 4. These materials could reduce the weight remarkably. componentsC213 impact energy absorption capacity and resistance to plastic deformation. The automobile weight can be reduced by use of high strength steel sheet of a thinner thickness to replace the mild steel sheet of body parts 1,3. Comparing with aluminum, magne- sium, and composite materials, high strength steel has better economy in that its raw material and fabrication cost are cheaper. Besides, high strength steel can be di- rectly used in product line including forming, wielding, assembling, and painting. The operating cost can be saved since there is no need adjusting the whole line. Outside of automobile body, there are several sheet Keywords: High strength steel; Lightweight; Dent resistance 1. Introduction In recent years, the retaining number of automobiles has been increasing steadily, which has impacted the society and human life greatly. Such situation leads to many severe problems such as fuel crisis, environment pollution. The international association of aluminum Material replacement is generally more eective in auto- mobile lightweighting than structure modification. With the introduction of automobile safety legislation, crash- worthiness and safety should be considered as precondi- tions in lightweighting design of auto-body. High strength steel is widely used in automobile replacing the traditional material of mild steel.

Analysis of critical load causing local trivial dent For quantitative evaluation of critical load against lo- cal dent resistance of panels, several experience formulas have been brought forward by researchers.

Automatic single surface contact algorithm is adopted in the simulation aiming at complexity of car impact simulation. From Eq.

The crit- ical load can be a rule to carry out lightweight design of automobile parts by using high strength steel instead of mild steel. 3. Example and crashworthiness analysis 3.1. FE model of full car and its crash simulation A detailed finite element model has been established based on a passenger car refitted from a saloon car, which is showed in Fig. 2. To ensure the correctness and eectiveness of FE model, the following methods are adopted: 1. Since the goal is to simulate the frontal impact of the car, the meshing of front car body is denser than that of the rear car body. 2. Reduced integration method with hourglass control is taken for 4 noded shell element and 8 noded brick solid element to improve the eciency of simulation. 3.

Lightweighting design and crashworthiness analysis The use of high strength steel is one of the eective ways to reduce car weight. However, the performance (such as crashworthiness, stiness, and dent resistance) of part made of new material should be assured. For example, the front parts of a car are major energy absorption parts in the process of car crash, so energy absorption performance without aecting the safety of passengers should be assured in the design of front parts of a car. In this research, the bumper of the passenger car is studied under dierent materials but remaining its dent resistance. The mechanical properties of mild steel and high strength steel are listed below (see Table 1). The evaluation index of dent resistance for bumper using mild steel is P cr1 C 1 r s1 t 2 1 : 15 When high strength steel is used to replace the mild steel remaining its primary shape and dent resistance per- formance, the new thickness t 2 of high strength steel can be achieved t 2 C 1 r s1 C 2 r s2 t 1 r : 16 From (16), the thickness of bumper that uses high strength steel is gained and updated in the full car FE model. The deformation history of bumper using new material is achieved after the car crash is re-simulated with updated part thickness (see Fig. 3). By simulation, the deformations of bumper made of two dierent kinds of material are similar in that plastic hingeandtensionalplasticdeformationappearinthemid- Table 1 Mechanical properties of two materials Material Density (g/cm 3 ) E (GPa) lr s (MPa) Mild steel 7.8 210 0.3 166 High strength steel 7.8 210 0.3 220 Fig. 4.

Conclusion Dent resistance performance of small curvature shal- low shell parts in automobile is studied in this paper, which enables the follows: 1. Dent resistance stiness under concentrated force is given for such parts. 2. The critical load resulting in the local trivial dent in the center of the shallow shell has been deduced, which in turn becomes the index to evaluate the dent resistance of automobile parts. 3. The validity of evaluating index is proven by applying the developed rule to the lightweight design of bum- per system using high strength steel instead of mild steel through crashworthiness simulation.
