Abstract

It is important for every car produce by any company to send their cars to the crash test organization to test the compatibility of their cars before announce the new car to the public. This is to make sure the cars are safe enough to be use by their customers. Most of the safety research organization done the high speed impact test which makes them neglected the effectiveness of bumper system to protect the front component of the car such as headlamp. This is because after the crash test with high speed impact, the bumper will be fully damage and they will analyze the whole body of the cars. In this paper, it will discuss about the front impact on a car bumper and the bumper system. The objectives of study are to investigate damage on a car bumper due to front impact and to determine an optimal design for the front bumper. The study will based on Perodua Kancil bumper which the simulation of front impact of the bumper will be made in the simulation software. But before that, the simple impact experiment must be done to verify the software. The methodology to do the experiment and preparation of its apparatus has been done. Lastly the simulation of the bumper will be done by using different material to compare which material are the most suitable for the bumper. Energy absorber have been used one of the strategy to reduce the impact energy.
