    The document describes the impact attenuator design for the 2010 FSAE rules. It provides equations used to calculate impact time, height, and deceleration. A free fall crash test was performed where the impact attenuator was dropped from a height of 2.5 meters onto a solid barrier traveling at 7 m/s. Analysis of test data using the given equations found the average deceleration was 14.65 G, below the 20 G maximum allowed by rules. Photos show the impact attenuator absorbed crash energy as required.

    The Impact Attenuator design clearly


    reaches the minimum conditions that
    SAE requires for the 2010 FSAE rules
    section B3.20:

    Impact
    Attenuator
    Data
    Requirement According to section
    3.21.1 The team must submit test data
    to show that their Impact Attenuator,
    when mounted on the front of a vehicle
    with a total mass of 300 kgs (661 lbs)
    and run into a solid, non-yielding impact
    barrier with a velocity of impact of 7.0
    metres/second (23.0 ft/sec), would give
    an average deceleration of the vehicle
    not to exceed 20 gs, with a peak
    deceleration less than or equal to 40
    gs. In order to achieve the mentioned
    scenario a free throw impact test was
    performed by our team. These are the
    equations ruling our design scenario:
    EQUATIONS USED:
    1. Vf= Vo + gt

    b. At least 200 mm (7.8 in) long, with its length


    oriented along the fore/aft axis of the frame.
    c. At least 100 mm (3.9 in) high and 200 mm
    (7.8 in) wide for a minimum distance of 200 mm
    (7.8 in) forward of the Front Bulkhead.
    d. Such that it cannot penetrate the Front
    Bulkhead in the event of an impact.
    e. Attached securely and directly to the Front

    ESTIMATED DECELERATION:

    Where:
    a: deceleration
    Xn: distance between a point of the
    piece and the floor at a moment.
    Xn+1: distance between a point of the
    piece and the floor at a later
    moment to n.
    Xn-1: distance between a point on the
    workpiece and the ground at a
    moment prior to n.

    We can see how the design
    attenuator absorbs the energy of the
    impact; generating an average
    deceleration of 14,6574 G below top 20
    gs of the section 3.21 rules.

    The team elaborates a video with all


    the physical experiences; this video
    contains the details of the physical
    simulation of the four pre design
    models of the FSAE-UDO team.
    We want the judges for review this
    video, so if you can sent us an address
    to ship this video in order to complete
    the experimental data.
