The objective of the thesis work is to analyse the production of an anti-intrusion beam obtained by a particular cold sheet metal forming process: the crash forming process and his environmental impact. The component analysed in this case study is a vehicle door side beam, a safety component which main purpose is to dissipate part of the kinetic energy in a lateral impact scenario, M.A. s.r.l. is producing this product on a customer specific request, in this way the company is not responsible for the object geometry definition but only for the industrialisation phase. One of the objectives of this thesis work is to test the effectiveness of the LS-Dyna simulation software on the metal sheet forming process topic, it is a simulation software which can be used in a vast number of simulation activities.
