Dynamic core stiffness is an essential factor for modeling and simulation of vehicle dynamics and safety crashworthiness. Core stiffness is a measure of an object’s ability to resist deformation when subjected to loads. It is a measure of rigidity and can be determined by measuring the amount of force required to generate a given displacement within an object.
The dynamic core stiffness of a vehicle body is a measure of the overall stiffness of the body and its fit-ment to the frame and transportation of loads through it. It is a measure of how well the body absorbs the shock and how much deformation it resists during a crash event or other disturbance. Core stiffness determines the vehicle’s crashworthiness by influencing the integrity of the vehicle body, the efficiency of the energy absorption and the number of occupants being protected.
The dynamic core stiffness also affects the ride and handling of a vehicle. A stiffer body structure has more resistance to body roll, pitch, and yaw which is advantageous to ride and handling. On the other hand, a softer body structure can provide a smooth ride, while at the same time it may lead to less control and a less rigid vehicle structure. The ideal balance between the two must be evaluated to provide the best ride and handling characteristics.
In order to determine the dynamic core stiffness of a vehicle, finite element or multi-body dynamics analysis is often necessary. This type of analysis is performed using numerical simulations that model the entire reaction to a disturbance under varying conditions. The results obtained from such simulations enable engineers to measure the dynamic core stiffness of the vehicle and also to compare the response of different parts of the structure.
These simulations require an accurate vehicle model with the appropriate boundary and boundary conditions, as well as a detailed material model. The material model should include information about the material’s failure, resistance and damping characteristics. The boundary conditions must define the locations and the magnitude of the disturbances applied to the body and/or frame. Once all these parameters are known, the dynamic core stiffness can be determined with a sufficient degree of accuracy.
Dynamic core stiffness is a very important factor for the design and performance of a vehicle. It impacts the ride and handling characteristics, the safety of the occupants and the overall efficiency of the vehicle. It is therefore essential to accurately analyze the dynamic core stiffness of the vehicle using advanced numerical simulations and detailed material modeling.
