STRENGTH ANALYSIS of THE FRONT BUMPER BEAM of A PASSENGER CAR

This article presents a computer simulation carried out in the Solidworks environment, the bumper beam of a passenger car was tested. The simulation took into account the influence of various aluminum alloys and the type of reinforcement in the cross-section of the beam on the strength of the entire element at the time of collision at different forces. The analysis provided answers in which places the accumulation of stresses occurs, and thus the places most exposed to destruction.
