        abstract = {This research presents a static structural analysis and design optimization of a front bumper beam for a monocoque chassis modeled on the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. The initial bumper beam model was created and analyzed using Aluminum Alloy 6061 in SolidWorks to evaluate parameters such as Equivalent (Von-Mises) stress, total displacement and factor of safety under static loading conditions. To examine material-based improvement, the analysis was repeated using Aluminum 6061-T6. however the results showed only negligible differences in stress and deformation. Therefore the study focused on geometric and topological redesign of the bumper beam. A new optimized design was developed and analyzed using the original material properties. The simulation results show that the proposed design significantly improves structural performance by reducing stress and displacement while increasing the factor of safety of bumper. The study concludes that geometric optimization is more effective than material tempering in enhancing the structural performance and crashworthiness of passenger vehicle bumper systems in car.},
