Automotive Bumpers
Automotive Bumpers is usually a metal bar or beam, attached the vehicle's front-most and rear-most ends, designed to absorb impact in a collision. The main function of a bumper is to protect the car's body in a slight collision, typically at parking speed. Front and rear bumpers on today's cars generally consist of a plastic cover over a reinforcement bar made of steel, aluminum, fiberglass composite or plastic.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Automotive Bumpers is usually a metal bar or beam, attached the vehicle's front-most and rear-most ends, designed to absorb impact in a collision. The main function of a bumper is to protect the car's body in a slight collision, typically at parking speed. Front and rear bumpers on today's cars generally consist of a plastic cover over a reinforcement bar made of steel, aluminum, fiberglass composite or plastic.
Some automakers design the bumper bar and its attachment brackets to crush in a low-speed crash to absorb energy. Polypropylene foam or formed thermoplastic sometimes is used in addition to or instead of crushable brackets and a bar. But frequently their main purpose is to serve as a spacer between the bar and the bumper cover and not as an energy absorber. Currently few, if any, bumper bars are attached to the vehicle structure through mechanisms like shock absorbers. Bumpers are not capable of reducing injury to vehicle occupants in high-speed impacts, but are increasingly being designed to mitigate injury to pedestrians struck by cars, such as through the use of bumper covers made of flexible materials.
