ABSTRACT
 Bumpers play an important role in preventing the impact energy from being transferred to the
automobile and passengers. Saving the impact energy in the bumper to be released in the
environment reduces the damages of the automobile and passengers.
 This bumper either absorbs the impact energy with its deformation or transfers it perpendicular
to the impact direction. To reach this aim, a honeycomb structure is designed to convert about
80% of the kinetic impact energy to the spring potential energy and release it to the environment
in the low impact velocity according to American standard.
 In addition, since the residual kinetic energy will be damped with the infinitesimal elastic
deformation of the bumper elements, the passengers will not sense any impact. It should be
noted that in this paper, modeling, and result’s analysis are done in SOLIDWORKS and ANSYS
software respectively.
INTRODUCTION
 Present days, Substitution of polymeric based composite material in car parts was
effectively actualized in the journey for fuel and weight reduction.
 Among the parts in the car business substituted by polymeric based composite materials
are the bumper bar, bumper sash, spoiler, associating bar, pedal box framework, and
entryway inward board.
 The bumper framework comprises of three fundamental parts, to be specific bumper

pillar, belt and energy safe bumper. One of the choices to decrease energy utilization is
weight diminishment.

3 Design and Analysis of a Car Gangasani Ravikumar Automotive design with economy
Bumper Using Springs Reddy, M.Suneetha and safety has been a great
challenge to design engineers. The
safety of the passengers and
vehicle during vehicle crashes can
be ensured to a certain limit by
using good bumpers. Bumper is an
important part of vehicle which
acts as one of the safety part of
vehicle.

automotive bumper beam in low- parameters including material,
speed frontal crashes thickness shape and impact condition
are studied for design and analysis of
an automotive front bumper beam to
improve the crashworthiness design in
low-velocity impact. The simulation of
original bumper under condition
impact is according to the low-speed
standard of automotives stated in
E.C.E.
BUMBER
 A bumper is a structure attached to or integrated with the front and rear ends of a motor
vehicle, to absorb impact in a minor collision, ideally minimizing repair costs.
 Stiff metal bumpers appeared on automobiles as early as 1904 that had a mainly ornamental
function. Numerous developments, improvements in materials and technologies, as well as
greater focus on functionality for protecting vehicle components and improving safety have
changed bumpers over the years.
 Bumpers ideally minimize height mismatches between vehicles and protect pedestrians from
injury. Regulatory measures have been enacted to reduce vehicle repair costs and, more
recently, impact on pedestrians.

METHODOLOGY
INTRODUCTION TO SOLIDWORKS
 The SOLIDWORKS CAD software is a mechanical design automation application that lets designers
quickly sketch out ideas, experiment with features and dimensions, and produce models and detailed
drawings. This document discusses concepts and terminology used throughout the SOLIDWORKS
application. It familiarizes you with the commonly used functions of SOLIDWORKS.
 This document is for new SOLIDWORKS users. In this document, you are introduced to concepts and
design processes in a high-level approach. The Step-by-Step Lesson on page 98 is hands-on training
that guides you through each step in a process and shows the results.
 This document is organized to reflect the way that you use the SOLIDWORKS software. It is
structured around the basic SOLIDWORKS document types: parts, assemblies, and drawings. For
example, you create a part before you create an assembly
FUTURE SCOPE
 Dynamic analysis may be applied and the proposed
 Design may applied for all type automobiles.

INTRODUCTION TO ANSYS
 ANSYS is general-purpose finite element analysis (FEA) software package. Finite

Element Analysis is a numerical method of deconstructing a complex system into very
small pieces (of user-designated size) called elements. The software implements
equations that govern the behavior of these elements and solves them all; creating a
comprehensive explanation of how the system acts as a whole. These results then can be
presented in tabulated or graphical forms. This type of analysis is typically used for the
design and optimization of a system far too complex to analyze by hand. Systems that
may fit into this category are too complex due to their geometry , scale, or governing
equations.
STRUTURAL ANALYSIS
 Structural analysis is probably the most common application of the finite element
method as it implies bridges and buildings, naval, aeronautical, and mechanical
structures such as ship hulls, aircraft bodies, and machine housings, as well as
mechanical components such as pistons, machine parts, and tools. the structural
analysis done at different speeds like 5,35,60,80 km/hr and different materials
carbon fiber composite, glass mat thermoplastic and Aluminum B390
respectively
STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
 Total deformation
 Equivalent stress
 Maximum principal stress
 Shear stress
 Normal stress
COMPARISON RESULTS
 Total deformation
 Maximum principal stress
 Shear stress
 Normal stress
ADVANTAGES
 Total weight of the vehicle can be reduced

 It can withstand higher impact
 Easy for fabrication
 Lower cost
APPLICATION
 The purpose of bumpers is to reduce or prevent physical damage to the front and rear of
vehicles in low-speed crashes.
 The bumpers are designed to protect the hood, trunk, grill, fuel, exhaust and cooling
system.
