Abstract

Evaluation of the crashworthiness is one of the important issues in the automotive industry. In order to evaluate the crashworthiness of auto-body structure, finite element method has been conducted for crash analysis. Generally, strain rates distribution of auto-body structure in the car crash ranges from 0.001/s to 500/s. Since material properties of steel sheets depend on the strain rates, the dynamic behavior of sheet metals must be examined and applied to the finite element model appropriately. This paper is concerned with the evaluation of measurement uncertainty of high speed tensile properties of auto-body steel sheets. Obtaining procedure of the true stress−true strain data at intermediate strain rates is properly designed for the experiment and data acquisition. The measurement uncertainty of the true stress is evaluated considering sources of uncertainties of input quantities and their associated sensitivity coefficients. A combined standard uncertainty is evaluated from not only the uncertainties of the input quantities but also influence factors of high speed tensile tests. The results show that the measurement uncertainty evaluation procedure has been successfully applied to high speed tensile properties.
