Lightweight Bumper Design for Enhanced Durability and Natural Frequency The automotive industry continually seeks innovative solutions to improve safety, reduce weight, and enhance performance. In this study, we propose a novel lightweight bumper design that addresses two critical aspects: bumper and headlamp durability and natural frequency optimization. Durability Enhancement: Our design incorporates advanced materials, such as high-strength composites and energy-absorbing polymers, to withstand impact forces. Structural simulations and crash tests validate the improved durability, ensuring protection for both the vehicle and pedestrians. Natural Frequency Optimization: By carefully selecting materials and geometry, we achieve a desirable natural frequency for the bumper system. Proper tuning minimizes vibrations during driving, enhancing ride comfort and stability. Weight Reduction: The lightweight design significantly reduces mass without compromising safety. Weight savings contribute to fuel efficiency and overall vehicle performance. In summary, our lightweight bumper design strikes a balance between safety, weight, and vibration control, making it a promising solution for modern vehicles.
