Sumario:The development of a carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) part is carried out by utilizing many experimental results in deciding the design. For this reason, the development period of a CFRP structure is long and an obstacle for commercialization. In this paper, multiple regression analysis is used to derive a response surface that estimates the generated load using the shape parameters of a corrugated collision energy absorbing structure to shorten the development period. To obtain the response surface, we conducted a quasistatic crushing experiment by using the length of linear portions (pitch) and the number of stacks (thickness) of a corrugated shape as parameters. When progressive crushing mode is observed, energy absorption efficiency decreases with the increase in pitch, and increases with the increase in the number of stacks. To discuss how energy absorption efficiency changes, a comparison examination is conducted using the derived response surfaces. Results indicate that specifications with high energy absorption efficiency can be accurately selected using the response surface of primary expression. In addition, differences in deformation mode were due to the influence of the stress at the corner portion of a part.
