Abstract

The issue of security in the automotive industry is becoming more and more important day by day and intensive studies are carried out in this regard. It is vital that automobile seats have to meet security regulations to assure optimum passenger safety. This article investigates the design changes of a passenger seat required to meet and exceed the Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) R-14 regulation. ECE R-14 contains a lot of restrictions to secure adequate safety-belt anchorages endurance for vehicles. Various design scenarios have been created to improve the performance of the seat. The CAD models have been designed in CATIA V5 and validated using Hyperworks software. Then, physical tests were also conducted with prototypes to compare outputs with FEA results.

Abstract

Otomotiv endüstrisinde güvenlik konusu her geçen gün daha da önem kazanmakta ve bu konuda yoğun çalışmalar yapılmaktadır. Otomobil koltuklarının optimum yolcu güvenliğini sağlamak için güvenlik yönetmeliklerini karşılaması çok önemlidir. Bu makale; Avrupa Ekonomik Komisyonu (ECE) R-14 yönetmeliği ile uyumlu ve bundan daha ağır şartlara da mukavemet göstermesi beklenen bir yolcu koltuğunun tasarım değişikliklerini araştırmaktadır. ECE R-14, araçlarda yeterli emniyet kemeri ankraj dayanımını sağlamak için birçok kısıtlama içerir. Koltuğun performansını arttırmak için farklı tasarım senaryoları yaratılmıştır. CAD modelleri CATIA V5 kullanılarak tasarlanmış ve Hyperworks yazılımı yardımıyla analiz edilmiştir. Ayrıca, FEA ve gerçek testlerin sonuçlarını karşılaştırmak için prototiplerle fiziksel testler gerçekleştirilmiştir
