title = "The effect of material parameters on crashworthiness of vehicle steering column",
abstract = "The drivers were hurt seriously by the vehicle steering column in the frontal collision. So a steering column with well energy-absorbing is very useful for the drivers. In this paper, the crashworthiness of a vehicle steering column is investigated by using the explicit dynamics finite element analysis method. Based on the proposed finite element model, the steering column with different material parameters including elastic modulus and yield strength are analyzed. Moreover, the displacement, velocity and energy absorption is discussed. The simulation results show that the crashworthiness of the vehicle steering column is significantly influenced by the yield strength. However, the elastic modulus has little effect on the crashworthiness.",
