| Abstract: | For the three-wheeler vehicle efficiency and safety is very much depend on the structural performance of their bumper systems, which must absorb impact energy while maintaining low weight for improved fuel economy. Even though the conventional steel bumper is structurally strong, it increases the mass of vehicle and can go under corrosion and it is permanently deformed during impact. To address these limitations, this project focuses on the design and strength optimization of a three-wheeler side bumper beam using composite materials. In this study, bumper beams of different cross-sectional geometries—such as rectangular, B-section, and hat-section—are modeled and analyzed to identify the most effective configuration in terms of impact strength, and deformation resistance. Advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is used to simulate side-impact loading and evaluate key performance parameters such as stress distribution, energy absorption, and deflection characteristics. The material design incorporates glass fiber- reinforced polymer (GFRP) and carbon fiber reinforced polymer hybrid composite systems, chosen for their high specific strength, superior impact behavior, and corrosion resistance. Further, topology and strength optimization techniques are applied to refine the selected geometry, minimizing weight while maintaining structural integrity. The results of this study are expected to reveal the most efficient cross-sectional design and composite configuration suitable for side bumper beams in three-wheelers. Overall, the project contributes to the development of high performance, safe, and sustainable automotive structures, offering a viable alternative to conventional metallic designs for improved vehicle safety and performance. |
