| 总结: | An automobile bumper fascia is a non-structural component, which contributes to
vehicle crashworthiness during front or rear collisions. In the past, the fascia was
made of plastic material. The weight reduction in bumper fascia without sacrificing
the safety of the car passenger was extensively studied. In this research, the bumper
fascia made of polymeric based composite material is designed in solid modelling
software. The polymeric based composite material was selected because it can offer
low weight, high specific stiffness, high specific strength, high-energy absorption and
easy to produce complex shapes. Four conceptual designs of bumper fascia were
developed in 3-D solid model. To decide the final design of bumper fascia the matrix
evaluation method was used. The weight of bumper fascia was obtained through
weight analysis that has been developed by using Pro/Engineer software. The fascia
was successfully designed with less weight compared to the current fascia. |
