Abstract
An automotive bumper is a key component designed to protect passengers from front and rear collisions. Bumpers serve a crucial function in absorbing collision forces to protect both the vehicle and its occupants. The ABAQUS/Explicit code is used to investigate the influence of the bumper beam parameters on their impact resistance. Eight materials (4 metallic and 4 composite) were compared to see how material modifications would improve outcomes and determine the optimal bumper beam material. Four bumper designs (profile-A, profile-B, profile-C, and profile-D) were compared to see how design adjustments would improve outcomes and discover the optimum bumper beam configuration.
