description |
Protecting vehicles is a demanding task. This is because vehicles are
exposed to all kinds of harm almost all the time especially impact during accident.
One of the devices that are capable of protecting a car is the car bumper. Since the
bumpers are placed in front and in the rear of vehicles, they are able to withstand
impact during collisions. In order to do that, the bumper must be strong enough and
able to absorb the impact to reduce the damage on the vehicle.
There are few factors that lead to the failure of the bumper to perform as the
bumper is intended for. This includes the material used for the bumper and the
design of the bumper.
This report discusses the research undertaken to investigate the effect of
impact damage to frontal bumper of a passenger vehicle. This research attempts to
study the factor that must be taken into consideration when designing the bumper
beam of a vehicle. This will be accomplished using simulation software such as
CATIA to design and analyse the bumper. The simulation of the bumper was
implemented by using difference types of material and with several designs. The
results obtained from the simulation are used as a reference and a guide in improving
the design of the frontal bumper. The findings of the project suggest a new design
for the bumper and the best material that should be use to make the bumper. |
