Review Paper: Design and Strength Optimization of 3-Wheeler Side Bumper Beam Using Composite Materials

This research investigates the weight and strength optimization of structural beams, specifically focusing on the transition from traditional metallic components to advanced composite structures. Using CATIA for CAD modeling and ANSYS for Finite Element Analysis (FEA), this study evaluates equivalent stress and total deformation across various cross-sectional geometries. The investigation compares Triangular, Rectangular, and Circular configurations for both Aluminum Alloy and composite materials. Original having rectangular structures provide superior performance. We can design and analysis of more than three composite material for same application by usign stress and deformation, offering a high stiffness-to-weight ratio suitable for vehicle safety components.
