REDUCTION IN THE IMPACT FORCE ON A VEHICLE USING SPRING DAMPER SYSTEM

Abstract—In the design of an automobile, the most important task is to minimize the occurrence and consequences of automobile accidents. Too many passengers die or injure every year because of accidents. Most of the vehicle manufacturing companies are unable to control these accidents. We are coming across the many accidents which were the result of poor designing and maintenance. The vehicles should have active safety system which will avoid the accidents as much as possible and passive safety system which will reduce the damage and loss of lives. The spring damper system is a passive safety system which will decrease the impact of accident. In this systems spring will store the energy and damper will dissipate the energy. This spring damper system reduces the impact of accident by increasing the time of collision as the spring needs some time to compress it totally. In this to check the amount of reduction in impact force when two bodies collide is analyzed with the spring damper system and without the spring damper system. The Impact force is significantly reduced with the spring damper system
