In-Vehicle Sliding Door System Finite Element Analysis and Experimental Verification

Authors:- Diksha Mane, Karuna Deshmukh, Dr. Anupam Sharma

Abstract:- A sliding door system is used in commercial vehicles and passenger automobiles to provide more access to the inside for loading and unloading. Mechanisms and tracks with a particular cross-section created by roll forming and stretch bending ensure the movement of a sliding door on a vehicle body. On a sliding door system, there are three tracks and three mechanisms known as upper, central, and lower. To verify these goods, static criteria such as strength in multiple directions, mechanism stiffness, door drop off, and door sag must be met, as well as dynamic requirements such as high energy slam opening-closing and durability. Furthermore, there is a kinematic requirement to determine force values from the door handle during manual operation. In this work, the finite element analysis and physical test results for sliding door systems will be compared.
