Design and Impact Analysis of Automotive Bumper Beam Using Aluminum Foam

EXPERIMENTAL POLYMERIC NANOCOMPOSITE MATERIAL SELECTION FOR AUTOMOTIVE BUMPER BEAM USING MULTI-CRITERIA DECISION MAKING METHODS

Material selection is a main purpose in design process and plays an important role in desired performance of the products for diverse engineering applications. In order to solve material selection problem, multi criteria decision making (MCDM) methods can be used as an applicable tool. Bumper beam is one of the most important components of bumper system in absorbing energy. Therefore, selecting...

Finite Element Analysis of the Bumper Beam

The main purpose of bumper is to absorb shock in case of a collision. Several materials have been used to develop these shock-absorbing capabilities, such as steel, aluminium, glass mat thermoplastics and sheet molding compound. The purpose of this project is to design a bumper which is to improve crashworthiness of the bumper beam. Crashworthiness is the ability of the bumper beam to prevent o...

Compression and low-velocity impact behavior of aluminum syntactic foam

We report quasi-static compression and impact behavior of aluminum syntactic foams (ASF) produced by melt infiltration. Aluminum syntactic foams with relative density of 0.46 were produced using hollow alumina spheres (4.45 mm and 3.05 mm) randomly situated in a mold and two types of aluminum alloy (1100 and 6061). The impact behavior was investigated using an instrumented drop tower. We invest...

Vibration and Noise Reduction Optimization Design of Mine Chute with Foam Aluminum Laminated Structure

The mining chute is an important equipment in the process of coal transportation and coal screening preparation. During the working process, the mining chute will generate a lot of vibration and noise because of constantly friction and impact of gangue and coal blocks. In order to reduce the vibration and noise during the operation of the chute, a new type of foam aluminum laminated structure i...
