Study on Impact Performance of Metamaterial Energy Absorbing Devices

Abstract

Abstract: Metamaterials (MMs) are manmade materials which are are actually a Polymer nano material. Metamaterials (MMs) are high energy absorbing and lightweight materials which can be used in structural occupation as a protective system. Now a days honeycomb panels of aluminium panels are used for reducing the collision mitigation which are very expensive, poor plasticity and it posse’s complex pattern, as compared to metamaterial panels. In this study, innovative cost-effective metamaterial (MMs) is used in structural occupation and use it as controlling a mitigation which is caused by vehicle collision. The primary objective of this investigation is to study the impact performance of the metamaterial (MMs) panel under various parameters. It is assumed that the proposed design is useful for controlling the severity of vehicle collision on structural member. The complete studies have been carried out using a finite element analysis in ANSYS software.
