Impact Attenuator:

Design Goals:
In decreasing order of significance

 Higher Impact absorbing capacity

 Manufacturability
 Cost effectiveness
 Light weight
 Innovation
Comparison (Foam):

 Without hollow base section(design)  With hollow base section (design)

 Less displacement  Higher displacement
 Hence less impact absorption  Comparatively higher impact absorption
 Future work(foam):

 Using a more dynamic scenario

 Comparison based on different foam properties

 Topology optimization

 Considering light weight materials

 Finalizing foam materials
