Abstract

To create a quality structure with low-stress concentration we need to make improvements to that structure starting with the design, structure, and quality of the materials and we will obtain a mixture of the materials named composite materials with better properties and a new structure shape optimization. The present papers analyze the impact behavior of a composite car bumper made from new materials. The study is performed using Solidworks software for the design of the new car bumper made from new composite materials and the stress concentration distribution is evaluated by the use of finite element analysis with Abaqus software for the impact cases.
