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.

Calculation to determine the number of composite energy absorbers

This week we start to calculate the impact energy, from 10km/h to 40km/h. After this, we use another formulae to calculate the absorber energy.

Finished our bumper and structure design.

Finally, we completely finished our design. Now, we focus on our impact calculation including the bumper impact and absorption energy.

Calculation the impact energy

We found the formula of crash and absorb energy formula in euroNCAP, and we gonna use it in our project. We also almost complete the solidworks design and working on our animation and simulation. Our next step is do the calculation and looking our possible fault in impact absorption energy.

Written report in progress

This week we gonna complete some of the parts in our report. Next week we need to present to our supervisor and give us some feedback.
