Abstract

Each nations have the regulation for a vehicle safety and interested in the side impact of a vehicle. It makes vast influence at the export if we can not be satisfied various vehicle laws and regulations. We spend a lot of money and time for the side impact test. So we must design a vehicle parts regard to the side impact test . We studied a side impact performance assessment method to reduce time and cost about the door trim in this paper. This paper describes a new test method for side impact test. We developmented a test method which verifies the door trim before the full car side impact test. We studied about a door trim armrest which has an influence on a human body abdomen injury value in ths paper. We used DFSS(Design For Six Sigma) process for design of door trim armrest. We searched the door trim armrest control factor and made the experiment plan. This research related the computer simulation and the test. We researched the optimal design factor and improved the performance of the abdomen injury value.
