Abstract

The primary factor considered in terms of domestic, passenger, and social vehicles in terms of design and development aspects, including their qualifications amongst the commuting modular vehicles along roads, various studies revealing that over 1.3 million commuters die in road accidents each year, frontal collisions being proven to be the major cause, and exclusive evaluations being done on vehicular crashworthiness and seater safety. The F E A procedures ensured here are for analysing various E A configurations being modelled and designed, thus analysed through F E A using a suitable FEA software workbench, and thus considered E A structures are rounded tube, tube, and hybrid sections whose functionality is evaluated on various crashworthiness assessment factors. The present work aims to gain a thorough understanding of the impact of combined sectional textures along plastic deformability modes, CF, and EA characters, as well as to ensure that rounded tube in tube and inversion tube designs are dominant, efficient, and capable of practical EA functionalities such as sophisticated crash functionality.
