Numerical-Experimental Correlation of Dynamic Test of a Honeycomb Impact Attenuator for a Formula SAE Vehicle

Numerical-Experimental Correlation of Dynamic Test of a Honeycomb Impact Attenuator for a Formula SAE Vehicle

A honeycomb impact attenuator for a Formula SAE (FSAE) prototype vehicle is examined using both experimental and numerical analyses. Two common FSAE impact attenuators were compared to a new design concept, combining four layers of hexagonal honeycomb. The comparison aimed to obtain the combination...
