When a crash results from a side impact, door beams can help protect passengers. Without door beams there is little keeping a passenger from the point of impact. As of 2010, fairly standard safety equipment allows for side impact door beams to provide a safer ride.
current side impact beam is removed from the car and the new beam, which is designed using CATIA, merged onis to the driver side of the front door of the car model. The total energy absorptions of the new beam with steel and composite material are compared with those of the current beam in three-point bending test simulations.

In side vehicle accidents, there is a very short distance between the impactor and the passenger. In such accidents, car manufacturers place impact energy absorber beams inside the door so that the passengers do not suffer from loss of life or major damage. In this study, the crashworthiness performances of impact energy absorber beams were investigated. …
Set up for impactor test of door beam. Display full size. The test conditions are shown in the Appendix (see Table A1, Supplementary Material). Two test patterns were conducted: Test A using a straight beam and Test B using an arched door beam with a Δy of 70 mm. The arched door beam comprises three parts, including crash boxes at both ends.
Side (lateral) Impact crash events fall into two distinct categories: Moving impactor (vehicle impact into your vehicle), and Sliding the vehicle into a fixed object (pole/tree impact) Each of the ...
In this work, crash characteristics of side door reinforced beams under low speed impact were investigated. The side door panels of three different cross-sections, namely, circular, U and W shapes were considered. ... Moreover, no frictional loss between pole impactor and surfaces of side door panels was assumed. Note that crushing force–time ...
the beams in a door model and finding the crush resistance offered by both beams for a prescribed pole intrusion test according to the FMVSS 214 for side impact analysis. [6] 2. Design of composite impact beams The intrusion beam used in the selected ford taurus car is made up if high strength steel (AISI 4340). It is 945 mm in
The impactor is given an initial velocity of 30km/h with a load case of 10,20,30,40 and 50kg for the 5 test cases and will hit the door perpendicular to the door surface.
Fig. 1 Door-beam construction Fig. 2 Rigidly connected beam of Renault Twingo The objective was to show the alternative of using FRP for side-door impact beam design. ... The deformable blocks, placed on the face of the mobile deformable barrier impactor, hit the door at the height of 350 mm from the ground level. This is the height when the crash
Side-door impact beams are used in passenger car door panels to protect pas-sengers from side impacts. The door's durability is essential in preventing side-impact collisions [1] [2]. The shape …
In side vehicle accidents, there is a very short distance between the impactor and the passenger. In such accidents, car manufacturers place impact energy absorber beams inside the door so that the passengers do not suffer from loss of life or major damage.
Reduced door strength was observed using these models in the static test, while complying with FMVSS-214 static requirements. Limited correlation between measurements from the dynamic tests and door strength in the static test was observed Discussion and Limitations: The three FMVSS-214 configurations engaged different main load paths. Door beam
In side vehicle accidents, there is a very short distance between the impactor and the passenger. In such accidents, car manufacturers place impact energy absorber beams inside the door so that the … Expand. 1. 1 Excerpt; ... Side-door beams were developed to reduce the velocity and depth of door … Expand. 25. PDF.
Abstract: The project involves dynamic analysis of an automotive door beam subjected to impact by a ram, which is moving with a particular velocity. For the analysis of the side-door impact …
The door intrusion beam is located in the door shell and behind the door skin. The door intrusion beam is important because it provides occupant protection in a side-impact collision. If the intrusion beam is damaged in any …
Increased usage of FRP directly influences the car weight reduction and, consequently, gas emissions. An example is presented for the solution of reducing the total weight of a passenger …
A comparative study of side door intrusion beams was performed to find out the force reaction and energy absorption capacity of the beams to protect the occupant from the side impact by using FEA ...
When there's a sideways collision with another vehicle, these side door impact beams absorb the kinetic energy and boost the rigidity of the doors of cars. The primary …
The side structure of a car has been improved by putting some energy absorbing materials in the doors, pillars, subframe rails, roof and seats. Those side impact materials increases the stiffness of the doors to absorb and distribute the energy from the impact.The doors have internal stiffeners and beams to help resists inner intrusion.
Assessing the effectiveness of side-door beams is significant for reducing occupant fatalities and serious injuries. In this study, full-scale side-impact test finite element models were presented ...
If used as a side impact beam, the section may be mounted in a door such that the top of the section faces outboard (i.e., towards the impactor for side impact; blue arrow in Fig. 1 above). This creates a bending load similar to a 3-point bending load case, as shown in Figs. 2-3 below: 2 Mueller-Bechtel et al.: Roll-Formed Profile for Door Beams
