This paper presents the biomimetic design approach to the development of novel sustainable lightweight vehicle side intrusion bar. The new structure has increased stiffness at a significantly reduced weight while maintaining its crashworthiness. The paper explores different biomimetic structures for vehicle side intrusion protection. Side-impact collisions are the second leading cause of death and injury in traffic accidents after frontal crashes. Side intrusion bar is an effective passive safety device for reduction of occupant injuries in a side-on crash.
