Finite element analysis and crashworthiness evaluation of a multi-stage aluminium alloy 6061-T6 impact attenuator for Formula SAE
Formula SAE regulations require every prototype vehicle to be equipped with an impact attenuator as a passive safety system capable of absorbing a minimum frontal impact energy of 7,350 J at an impact velocity of 7 m/s for a vehicle with a mass of approximately 300 kg. This study aims to design an impact attenuator tha...
