Simulation Analysis of Suv Seat Track Segment Failure in Oblique Crash Accidents

Abstract
Manufacturing automotive seating for sport utility vehicledesign involves navigating various competing objectives to meet comfort and safety requirements. Production-induced variations in seat track segment assemblies have traditionally prioritized strength and material considerations, at the expense of customer experience and perceived product quality. This study aims to investigate the impact of lateral forces, resulting in oblique car crashes, on seat and track segments, explicitly focusing on analyzing the effects of deformation and stress distribution. Utilizing finite element analysis for simulation, the research study thoroughly examines seat track segments responding to lateral impact forces, offering insights into these components' dynamic behavior and structural integrity. The simulated accident analysis concentrated on the effects of a frontal oblique crash, explicitly examining the track seat distance, position, and detent at a seat recline angle of 20 degrees. The investigation encompassed frontal oblique crashes in the range of 0 to 15 degrees, considering both static force and dynamic motion conditions on the left and right sides of the impact. Additionally, real-time simulations are conducted on the Asia Eva-RID model, under the incorporating acceleration tests. The forecasted collision tested at speeds of 60, 80, and 100 km/h yields the maximum deflection for the seat adjustment at the distances of 82.5 mm and 115 mm. The deformation on structure of track segment was changed in the oblique right-side impact. The depicted stress distribution was higher than the strength of the materials used. The analysis reveals that the track segment experiences higher stresses, surpassing seat structure, leading to damage and failure.
