Durability Analysis in Seat Components Based on Design Criteria

Abstract

In this study, the suitability of the M1 class vehicle rear seat according to the ECE R17 luggage retention regulation has been examined. Strength improvement studies were carried out on the seat corner component. The development studies for the seat design according to the boundary and loading conditions specified by the ECE R17 regulation were created in the finite element method pre-processing software Hyper Mesh and the analysis was carried out in the RADIOSS solver. The design of the seat, which was determined by finite element analysis results, was verified by physical tests
