Abstract
The present research work is aimed at performing modal analysis of an impact energy absorption assembly for a four-wheeler vehicle. In this work, an impact energy absorption mechanism is proposed where the crushing of composites principle is used. With the help of vehicle motion sensors, actuators, and high-speed pumps, the mechanism’s bumper will be extended, which will then hit the forward obstacles before the actual collision occurs. The bumper on its way back will crush the composites, which will absorb some of the impact energy, and some of the energy will also be absorbed by the shock absorbers. Thus, the complete mechanism will tend to reduce the damage caused to passengers and vital engine components.
