Ensuring the safety of passengers is a top priority in the automobile industry. To achieve this, engineers have designed new vehicles with advanced safety systems. These systems can be classified into two categories: active and passive safety. This article will examine the passive safety system, namely the front bumper. The front bumper is an essential part of the vehicle that protects passengers from injuries during a frontal collision. It works by absorbing part of the vehicle’s energy during the collision. This study aims to optimize the front bumper’s structure by calculating and analyzing its ability to withstand collisions and absorb energy. The finite element method is used, with LS-DYNA software being the primary research tool. The collision results are evaluated based on NCAP standards, with a speed of 64 km/h. The study focuses on the front bumper’s ability to absorb collision energy and its deformation. By increasing the front bumper’s thickness from 3 to 5 mm, the results show that a thickness of 5 mm is optimal, with a deformation parameter of more than 0.84%.

摘要

Ensuring the safety of passengers is a top priority in the automobile industry. To achieve this, engineers have designed new vehicles with advanced safety systems. These systems can be classified into two categories: active and passive safety. This article will examine the passive safety system, namely the front bumper. The front bumper is an essential part of the vehicle that protects passengers from injuries during a frontal collision. It works by absorbing part of the vehicle’s energy during the collision. This study aims to optimize the front bumper’s structure by calculating and analyzing its ability to withstand collisions and absorb energy. The finite element method is used, with LS-DYNA software being the primary research tool. The collision results are evaluated based on NCAP standards, with a speed of 64 km/h. The study focuses on the front bumper’s ability to absorb collision energy and its deformation. By increasing the front bumper’s thickness from 3 to 5 mm, the results show that a thickness of 5 mm is optimal, with a deformation parameter of more than 0.84%.
