This document is a case study submitted by 6 students for a material selection course. It discusses selecting a material for an automobile bumper. It lists requirements for the bumper, such as being flexible, lightweight, low-cost, and easy to manufacture. Possible materials are identified, like polyesters, polyactide, and polyamides. The students' objectives are to minimize weight and cost while meeting the design constraints. They will evaluate candidate materials and select the best one for a car bumper.

SUBMISSION DATE : 1. From the background we read, there are some information that we can get to find a better material that we can produce to make a quality car bumper. Below consist the features that fit in the bumper car : Design must be flexible enough to reduce the passenger Stay intact in low-speed impact Less fuel consumption Less weight design of car bumper Good rust resistance High strength High volume manufacturing Easy to shape Material for car bumper must low cost
2. The other information should to know to make car bumper is:
What are the of material that we can used to make a car bumper ? -epoxics -polyesters -polyactide -polyamides -polyetheretherketone -Polyethylene terephthalate -polyoxymethylene
What are the properties
3. Our opinions on design requirement of the car bumpers is :
Function Car bumper
Constraints Easy to manufacture
High fracture toughness
Low cost
Light weight
High volume manufacturing
Good rust resistance
flexible
Objective Minimize weight
Minimize material cost
Free variables Choice of material
4. 5 material which are possible to be manufactured as car bumper.
polyesters polyactide polyamides polyetheretherketone Polyethylene terephthalate 5. Evaluation of the candidates
