Description
Summary:This paper shows the developed design of an automobile front strut tower brace instantly breakable on reaching a predetermined value impact load, which allows the impact load not to be transferred to the opposite strut. An automobile front strut tower brace with the directed destruction V-shaped element using the SolidWorks and SolidWorks Simulations software complex was developed, designed and analyzed. The obtained data were confirmed experimentally. By changing geometric features of the V-shaped element, it is possible to change the impact load value required for its destruction.
