Sumitomo Metals Develops Technology for Evaluating Crash Performance of Components and Systems.Tokyo Tokyo (tō`kēō), city (1990 pop. 8,163,573), capital of Japan and of Tokyo prefecture, E central Honshu, at the head of Tokyo Bay. , Japan, Oct 20, 2006 - (JCN JCN Japan Corporate News JCN Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience JCN Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing JCN Journal of Christian Nursing JCN Job Control Number JCN Journal of Child Neurology JCN joint communications network (US DoD) ) - Sumitomo Metals today announced its development of the world's largest and fastest Drop Weight Test machine, which evaluates crash energy absorption performance by dropping a weight onto the test materials, eliminating the need for a crash test. The Company has thus established test techniques that enable engineers to reproduce re·pro·duce v. 1. To produce a counterpart, an image, or a copy of something. 2. To bring something to mind again. 3. To generate offspring by sexual or asexual means. and evaluate crash performance of the body of a vehicle with a high level of precision. Furthermore, by constructing highly accurate CAE (1) (Computer-Aided Engineering) Software that analyzes designs which have been created in the computer or that have been created elsewhere and entered into the computer. (computer-aided engineering See CAE. Computer-aided engineering Any use of computer software to solve engineering problems. With the improvement of graphics displays, engineering workstations, and graphics standards, computer-aided engineering (CAE) has come to mean the computer )technology based on acquired data, Sumitomo Metals has developed new technology for evaluating the crash performance of components and systems. CAE supports the prior assessment of product design, production and process design. Going forward, Sumitomo Metals will recommend to automotive manufacturers components and structures to maximize the performance of steel materials, as well as provide technical assistance for the development of next-generation body structures that will offer higher crash performance.
