Abstract

Car accidents are happening every day. If, we take into account the statistics, ten thousand dead and hundreds of thousands to million wounded each year. These numbers call for the necessity to improve the safety of automobiles during accidents. Automotive bumper system is one of the key systems in passenger cars which help to protect the vehicle during impacts. Bumper is one of the main parts which are used as protection for passengers from front and rear collision. The aim of this study is to analyze and study the structure and material employed for car bumper in one of the car manufacturer. In this, the most important variables like material, structures, shapes and impact conditions are studied for analysis of the bumper beam in order to improve the crashworthiness during collision. The model of the bumper is drawn in Ansys 14.0 considered thickness as 10 mm. Structural analyses has been performed for all the two cases and the results obtained are compared with the standard previous results. Keywords: Bumper, FEM, Impact Test, Ansys 14.0.
