ANALYSIS & OPTIMIZATION OF AUTOMOTIVE BUMPER BEAM WITH COMPOSITE MATERIALS USING FEA

The fundamental motivation behind this paper is to enhance the crash worthiness, reduce the weight and improve the cost of the bumper. Designing a heavy vehicle bomber and sequential analysis on how it influences the parameters, for example, shape, thickness and material will help in increment the quality and lessening in weight. This additionally gives a method for utilizing materials that are recyclable and biodegradable which helps in controlling natural contamination. The bumper beam of the heavy vehicle is modelled and analyzed with the steel material and then the design is modified and improvised by using a shape optimization tool in the FEA. In light of the shape enhancement comes about the state of the model is adjusted and replaced with aluminum and composites. shape of the bumper are premeditated for the analysis on an automotive bumper to enhance the properties of the beam particularly to stand against the impact forces of crash, ranging from medium speed to high speed impact collisions. From this work it is recommended that S2 glass epoxy is performing extremely all around contrasted with the current bumper material. The stress is diminished by 45.14% and the deformation is decreased by 55.25%
