This book was released on 2014-12-03 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Composites are now extensively used in applications where outstanding mechanical properties are necessary in combination with weight savings, due to their highly tunable microstructure and mechanical properties. These properties present great potential for part integration, which results in lower manufacturing costs and faster time to market. Composites also have a high level of styling flexibility in terms of deep drawn panel, which goes beyond what can be achieved with metal stampings. The so-called multifunctional or smart composites provide significant benefits to the vehicles as compared to the traditional materials that only have monotonic properties. CAE Design and Failure Analysis of Automotive Composites focuses on the latest use of CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) methods in design and failure analysis of composite materials and structures, beginning with a brief introduction to the design and failure analysis of composite materials, and then presenting some recent, innovative CAE design examples of composite structures by engineers from major CAE developers and automobile OEMs and suppliers. This title brings together 12 SAE technical papers, carefully selected by the editors covering three main areas of expertise: • Design and Failure Analysis of Composites: Static Loading • Design and Failure Analysis of Composites: Dynamic and Impact Loading • Design and Failure Analysis of Composites: Blast Loading

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design of Automotive Composites reports that successful designs of automotive composites occurred recently in this arena. The chapters consist of eleven technical papers selected from the Automotive Composites and other relevant sessions that the editors have been organizing for the SAE International World Congress over the past five years. The book is divided into four sections: o Body Structures o Powertrain Components o Suspension Components o Electrical and Alternative Vehicle Components The composite design examples presented in Design of Automotive Composites come from the major OEMs and top-tier suppliers and are most relevant to the automotive materials challenges currently faced by the industry. Many of the innovative ideas have already been implemented on existing or new model vehicles, although a great deal of innovation is still in the works. With the advantage of supporting lightweighting and faster time to market, there is little doubt that composite materials can provide many tangible benefits and will become, over time, the material of choice for automakers.

This book was released on 1993 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experimental program was conducted to characterize the failure modes of fiber reinforced composite materials which are important to the automotive industry for both structural and non-structural applications. The composite materials utilized for this study included a randomly oriented, chopped glass reinforced polyester (SMC), Azdel's P-100 glass mat reinforced polypropylene, reaction injection molded (RIM) glass mat reinforced polycarbonate, Wellman's magnesium silicate filled nylon (Wellamid), and Dow's glass filled polyurea (Spectrum HT). The study included (1) conditioning and mechanical testing of samples, (2) fractographic examination, (3) development of a computerized atlas of all fractographs, and (4) design of a preliminary failure analysis expert system. Fractographs of all five materials unconditioned, and subjected to thermal aging or humidity aging identifying typical topographical features and fracture surfaces are presented for specimens subjected to tension, compression, flexure, impact, tension-compression fatigue, and flexure fatigue testing. The fractographic information obtained was summarized in two computerized atlases. In addition, the results were used to develop an expert system that guides the user in establishing potential failure modes based on the type of material, environmental conditions, and features observed on fracture surfaces. It should be noted that the expert system has been utilized for test specimens only and has not been tested on actual parts fabricated of the materials utilized in this study.
