Vehicle Door Hinges Design

In this study an approach for fea and re design process for automotive door hinge link is presented.

Vehicle door hinges design.

Hinges is the assembly of components connected to the door and body of the vehicle linked to each other and capable of rotating around the same axis. Conventional system consists of two hinges for each door an upper hinge and a lower hinge. Powered doors are usually found on minivans high end cars or modified cars. The objective of this research was to design a hinge to evaluate.

The system was designed to replicate the conventional car door system in the same way as it is present on the real life test track. These doors can be opened manually or powered electronically.
