Design and Analsis of Car Bumper By Varying Materials and Speeds

Abstract

one of the main parts in car is Bumper which is used as protection for passengers from front and rear collision. This research was to analyze the structural and material employed for car bumper in one of the car, material, structures, shapes and impact conditions are studied for analysis of the bumper beam in order to improve the crashworthiness during collision. An automobile's bumper is the front-most or rear-most part, designed to allow the car to sustain an impact without damage to the vehicle's safety systems. They are not capable of reducing injury to vehicle occupants in high-speed impacts, but are increasingly being designed to mitigate injury to pedestrians struck by cars. Pro/ENGINEER is the standard in 3D product design, featuring industry-leading productivity tools that promote best practices in design. Impact analysis is done by COSMOS. This speed is according to regulations of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, FMVSS 208- Occupant Crash Protection whereby the purpose and scope of this standard specifies requirements to afford impact protection for passengers. In this research, analysis is done for speed according to regulations and also by changing the speeds. Simulation using Finite Element Analysis software, which is COSMOS, was conducted. The material used for bumper is carbon fiber-reinforced poly-ether-imide pei.
