Abstract

The paper explains the crashworthiness of the car in order to ensure the safety of the occupants. The anticipated work is projected to study the effect of impact loads on the chassis frame/roll cage of an off-road vehicle. The dynamics are captured through transient for impact testing. The results highlight the dynamics of roll cage under the front impact. The response of the system for the cases without and with bumper are compared. The impact severity has been determined by pinpointing the nodes at which maximum and minimum deflection, velocity, and stresses occur. The simulating is done with the transient dynamic analysis of the roll cage on ANSYS. Results of the work with transient dynamic analysis ensure the sufficiency of the design. The FOS is found to be higher in case of bumper.
