✦ Synopsis

For a crash analysis using the FEM with respect to a structure which is composed of thin plates, a structure study method was developed. This method is based on the concept that making each plastic strain value of all shell elements almost equal is effective in the weight reduction of such a structure.

In this paper, application results and a robust design by means of this method are described.
