Abstract

A bumper (American English) or shield (British English) is a structure attached to or integrated with the front and rear ends of a motor vehicle, to absorb impact in a minor collision, ideally minimizing repair costs. In racing the bumpers are also used at the end of the race track to stop the out of control vehicles at that instant of time and position with minimum injury. The present work is the analysis on typical safety bumper placed at the end of race-track to stop out of control vehicles. The vehicle of mass 1800kg hits the bumper at a velocity of 90 km/h. Analysis is carried out using MATLAB software. The result shows the curve variation between velocity of car and displacement of bumper. It was found that the velocity of car decreases with increase in displacement of bumper. This analysis helps in preliminary stages of designing the bumpers.
