Investigating the effect of localized heat treatment and bioinspired structure on the crashworthiness of bumper subsystem

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: showed a 25 % improvement in terms priority value. The new bumper subsystem performed better in full-scale collision simulations than the Peugeot 3008 model, but it performed less in the 40 % offset crash scenario. In general, this research offers valuable insights for the automotive industry in developing safer and more efficient bumper sub systems. By conducting iterated localized heat treatment, incorporating bioinspired design principles, and considering the interdependent effects of different components, this study provides a valuable input for future advancements in vehicle safety design and standard.
