Abstract
Abstract In Automotive sector, energy absorption is a critical aspect for the safety of the human occupants. In the event of the accident the vehicle is subject to enormous shock which is distributed to the structure of the vehicle and the passengers. The passengers experience crash inertia force and hence are liable to be affected by whiplash injury, etc. The human occupant can be cushioned by using energy absorption materials in the automotive structure. In this paper an epoxy based composite is proposed to be fabricated such that it shall contain air pockets/air bubbles which make the material into foam. The fabrication process involved introducing air bubbles in epoxy resin and making foam in pristine material as well as with addition of chopped glass fiber reinforcement. Similarly, a comparison study between the filler chopped glass fiber and without filler chopped glass fiber is also carried out. Further these specimens were subjected to impact energy absorption studies and associated with simulation as per ASTM standards.
