Design and fabrication of crash box and anti penetration plate for safety purposes formula student racing car / Franz Evans Fancey Sami

The abstract for a project on the design and fabrication of a crash box and anti- penetration plate for safety purposes in a Formula Student racing car highlights the objectives, which is to improve the overall safety of Formula Student Racing cars by enhancing the performance and reliability of crash boxes and anti-penetration plates. The problem that people faces is that current crash boxes and protective plates may not be sufficiently absorbing impact energy to avoid debris or objects entering a cockpit during an accident. This is a serious safety issue for the driver and, in consequence, does not lead to any major development of safety standards across F1 student racing. I have been planning and designing these crash box and anti-penetration plate since Final Year Project . The process of designing, material selection and other things are not done easily. In the end, the crash box and anti – penetration plate are done in Final Year Project 2. Eventhough I cannot test my product, I am sure it is good enough to be used in the car. This initiative not only enhances car safety but also takes into account environmentally friendly materials and disposal processes, coinciding with the global trend towards more sustainable automotive solutions.
