Abstract:
The main mechanism of failure in most of collide is impact. Absorption energy and fracture toughness are important factors which could avoid failure of material or decreasing deflection in impacts, so they reduce cost and health damage to trucks or their passengers in accident. In addition, weight has two different significant roles in the vehicle. The first one is to reduce the cost and energy. The second one is to decrease the mass of the truck for reduction of kinetic energy of moving vehicle, which reduces the impact energy in crash. Hence, using of light material with high impact absorption energy and relatively low cost is important in vehicle industries. Aluminum foam is an excellent material in this purpose. It could be used in bumper and chassis even in body work of automobile to reduce the accident damage. Furthermore, using of Aluminum Foam in frames of automobile could have useful properties in reduction of damping vibration. The aim of this paper is to identify the technological aspect of a project for Aluminum foam to decrease its specific mass below one gram per cubic centimeter to optimize the absorption energy to the weight.
