Abstract: The objective of the presented research was to assess the influence of stamping process on crash response of UltraLight Steel Auto Body (ULSAB) vehicle. Forming effects considered included thickness variations and hardening which occurs through imparted plastic strain in the part forming process. The as-formed thickness and plastic strain information for front crash parts were used as input data for vehicle crash analysis. Differences in structural performance between crash models with and without forming data were analyzed in order to determine the effects and feasibility of integration of process and crash models.
