Abstract

This study aims at the structural safety with optimum design of automotive bumper in order to minimize the maximum stress and displacement and reduce the minimum quantity of bumper material. As the forces of X and Y direction increase, equivalent stress and displacement increase. The displacement of X direction force increases more than 20% in comparison with Y direction force. But the equivalent stress of Y direction force increases more than 60% in comparison with X direction force. The mass of inner bumper becomes minimum and the mass of outer bumper becomes maximum when the force of 4000N is applied on the direction inclined at $45^{\circ}$ toward outer bumper. In 50% range of increase and decrease at X and Y direction force, the optimum forces of X and Y component becomes 2368.8N and 1538.8N respectively. And the masses of inner and outer polypropylene bumper become $3.3227{\times}10^{-2}kg$and $3.5538{\times}10^{-2}kg$respectively.
