Paper Title
Passenger Seat Structure Optimization For AIS -023 By Using Composite Material
Abstract
Seat is important parts of vehicle. The intention of this paper was analyzing existing passenger seat and
modified seat as per necessity. In these paper seat modifications means structure modification and material substitution. The
FEA results of existence model indicate that cannot offer effective safety for the occupants and necessitate for structural
enhancement. In structural modification, it would be better if we can offer weight reduction and cost effective by
undertaking material substitution. Here we doing two modifications in existing seat like structure modified and material
substitution for some extent. But modified seat have to be compulsory to meet the AIS requirements. Evaluate FEA results
of modified design with respect to displacement range as per standard. So modified seat analyzed through Hyper Mesh and
LS-DYNA software.
