PT Journal AU Emil, E TI Desing of Dual Phase Steel Sheets for Auto Body SO Acta Mechanica Slovaca PY 2011 BP 42 EP 48 VL 15 IS 2 DI 10.21496/ams.2011.017 DE Desing; Dual Phase; Steel Sheets; Strenght; Energy Absorbing; Deep Drawing Capacity; Stretching Capacity AB This paper outlines the considerations of strength and energy absorbing car body by applying mechanical properties of steel sheets with higher strength properties. Good combination of strength and ductile properties of dual-phase steel helps reduce weight and improve crash safety body. High-strength dual-phase steels have better deep-drawing capacity and stretching capacity compared to microalloyed at the same strength. Dual phase steel sheet have comparable streching capacity but poorer deep drawing capacity than DC04. Measured values LDR and FLD0 have to serve engineers who haven't experience with application of high strength steel sheets for car body. ER
