Fea-Based verification of mechanical and thermal behavior of PVC coated pur foam substrate used in bus dashboards

Abstract

Polyurethane (PUR) foam layers with polyvinylchloride (PVC) coating used in bus instrument panels are subjected to various mechanical and thermal effects. Understanding the behavior of these materials under these effects is critical to improve product performance and durability, and for this purpose, finite element analysis (FEA) was employed to complement experimental testing. The aim of this study is to investigate the mechanical and thermal behavior of PVC-coated PUR specimens by FEA and in particular to investigate the degradation mechanisms and the performance of the material under different conditions. The mechanical behavior of PVC coated PUR specimens was modeled under different loading and temperature conditions and analyzed with finite element software. The simulations were modeled based on experimental data and literature information and included tensile, three-point bending, peel and thermal expansion tests. Strain-displacement ratios were monitored using digital image correlation (DIC) techniques. The results are in high agreement with the experimental data. Strain quantities show small variations due to calculation errors, but 97% convergence in three-point bending tests and 96% convergence in single lap joint tests. Thermal analysis and DIC results confirm the other findings. The work presented here demonstrates the ability to simulate the behavior of PVC-coated PUR specimens through FEA, avoiding material and time waste and contributing to design changes. FEA results were in good agreement with the physical tests, confirming suitability for specimen-level analysis.
