Appointment for the absorber calculation

Next Tuesday we have an appointment with the lecturer Anura, we gonna discuss our absorber calculation and hope that we can get a very useful advise from Anura. Our aim is about the absorber length, oil viscosity, piston diameter, the size of the valve orifice and so on...

Improvement of Written Report

Today, we gave the lecturer Niranjan to see our written report and give us some advise. We been told about our bumper research was not good enough. So, we do more research about this part and finish our absorber calculation as soon as possible.

Pedestrian Impact Energy and Absorber Absorb Energy

Last week, lecturer Anura had gave us some advise about how to calculate the hydraulic absorber absorb energy. This week we got a few of question about the absorber design need to ask Anura, hope that we'll finish calculation in this week.

Calculation Issue

We done the first impact calculation, but we met the problem at second impact calculation because the unit conversion. Luckily, one of the automotive lecturer-- Anura taught us how to convert. Next step, find the grade of hydraulic absorber to meet our requirement of energy absorption.

Concept Development and Structure Development

A sneak peeks of our design. In developing the conceptual design of the absorber, systematic exploitation of proven ideas or of experience was used.



Structure Development
The final design of our new bumper and structure.

Combine the first impact calculation

We calculate the very first impact from the moment of pedestrian's knees touch the bumper and the absorption of front rubber. After that, we calculate the absorber energy.
