| Summary: | Automotive bumper beam system plays a very important role not only absorbing
impact energy but also in a styling stand point. A great deal of attention within the
automotive industry has been focused upon light weight, sufficient safety and also less
material used in recent years based on optimization design. Topology optimization
technique was used to optimize bumper beam design. For this project Perodua Myvi
bumper beam was selected as the case study. An overview of topology optimization
procedure and some closely related subjects in automobile industry focused on bumper
beam design explained in details in this report. The bumper beam design was optimized
base on topology optimization technique and the outcome is four concept design were
developed using SolidWorks software. The optimized design then analyze regarding the
impact performance using COSMOSWORKS Designer analysis software. From the
analysis results then the four design concept have been compared to select the best
optimized design base on the optimization study which defined by objective function,
design variable and constraints. It was found that design concept 2 is the best optimized
design because it fulfills the optimized study criteria. Finally, the application of topology
optimization during the development process of an automotive bumper beam is
discussed, including identification of its major benefits. |
