Figure 1. 1. The body in white structure of Super Light Car, with approximately 32% reduction in weight,(Source: Duwe and Kopp 2009). The fuel economy bears an important aspect in Turkey because Turkey has the shortage of the adequate domestic supply of crude oil. A high tax ratio has been always subjected when a certain engine capacity and total weight are exceeded. Since Turkey is in a statute of the candidate country of EU membership, the EU regulations on exhaust emission is also valid in Turkey. Moreover, according to Turkish Statistical Institute, the number of automobiles in Turkey increased 6% per year on the average between 2002 and 2007, (TUIK 2007). In parallel with this, the number of crash accidents annually increased by 14%. Therefore, the weight savings and crash safety are received much more attention by the automobile buyers of Turkey. A crash element should transform the kinetic energy into the deformation energy in a controllable manner, retain sufficient survival space for the protected components and keep the forces and accelerations on the crash element at possible minimum levels (Meguid, et al. 2004a). Figure 1.2 shows the percentages of the occurrences of the site crashes in the automobiles and the percentage of the occurrence of the frontal crashes is shown to be about 70% including direct and offset frontal crashes (Wallentowitz and Adam 1996). In the United States, for example, about 79% of the injuries are caused by the offset frontal crashes (Peden, et al. 2004). As parallel with the high probability of the occurrence of the frontal zone crashes, the passive crash elements used in these areas have been under constant improvement by the use crash elements made in various geometries of different materials. 2
Figure 1. 2. The probability of the collision occurrence in a passenger car. (Source: Wallentowitz and Adam 1996) A crash box is an element which is used in the frontal crash zones, generally inserted between chassis and bumper as shown in Figure 1.3. Crash boxes absorb the total crash energy at velocities approximately up to 30 km/h and protect the overall integrity of chassis and transmit less amount of energy to the rest of the front safety zones at velocities higher than 30km/h.
