Total design of polymer composite automotive bumper fascia

An automobile bumper fascia is a component, which contributes to vehicle crashworthiness during front or rear collisions. In the past, the fascia was made of plastic materials. The weight reduction in the bumper fascia without sacrificing the safety of the car was extensively studied. In this pape...

The polymeric based composite material was selected because of low weight, high specific stiffness, high specific strength, high-energy absorption and easy to produce in complex shapes.
