Within the study’s scope, impact analyses of homogeneous bumper beam-crash box systems designed from AA6063-O, AA6063-T5, and AA6063-T6 materials and hybrid systems designed from combinations of these materials were made and compared in terms of energy absorption values. In designs where failure does not occur, the highest energy absorption value was obtained using the AA6063-T5 bumper beam and AA6063-O crash box system, and single and multi-objective optimization studies were conducted using this design. The optimal bumper system improved the crash performance of the structure. Accordingly, this bumper system can be used in vehicles to improve crashworthiness.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
