Vehicle side crash is a critical crash event where the vehicle is crashed by a movable car or vehicle may hit a tree or pole. Minimizing the intrusion into the occupant space is important to protect the occupant. In side pole crash, vehicle rocker (sill) plays an important role in resisting the load due to the crash. The objective is to study the functional performance and potential mass reduction in the vehicle sill/rocker area by use of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) tubes. In this project investigates the behavior of CFRP square section tubes in a three-point quasi-static bending in comparison to conventional steel structure using finite element method. By keeping the resistance force offered by a steel section as the baseline resistance value, different combination of CFRP tubes and metal holding brackets are evaluated and compared with the baseline. Design and analysis of existing Rocker Panel specimen will be done using CATIA R5V20 and ANSYS 19 software. new design & weight optimization of rocker panel specimen will be done using CFRP . Experimental investigation will be done by three-point bending test on UTM.
