CAPSTONE PROJECT

Mechanical Engineering Jan 2019 - May 2019

Project Objective: Creating a Crash Test Vehicle, Delaware Technical Community College, Newark, DE

Objective was to design and create a crash vehicle to a 1/5th scaled down model that is within IIH standards

Researched the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS) testing process for vehicle safety

Prioritized critical objectives though use of decision matrix

Assigned areas of project to team members who would perform research and calculations

Explored / selected materials that would be viable to perform within IIH standards

Designed vehicle specifically framing and crumple zone (structure) to conduct crash simulations

Fabricated proto-type vehicle to run crash simulation test to document and record the impact force energy that is absorbed in the crumble zone (structure) while protecting passengers

Compare to an actual crash simulation done by the IIHS and upgraded the design to improve safety performance

Project successfully completed and effective, met IIH testing standards for design and vehicle safety requirements
