New Concepts for Cost and Weight Optimized Technical Polymer Application in the Automotive
1) new , high filled polymers for structural components.
We will show new applications and material developments for the body in white design to improve crash behaviour in combination with weight reduction compared to established technologies.
2) latest generations of plastic/metal hybrid solutions
How can we combine the new polyamid generations with metal or non-metal materials to achieve light weight applications? A different approach in engieering is necessary to save weight with materials with a higher density.
3) further developed of CAE methods
latest developments in CAE calculation will be discussed
4) development and mass production samples
Session: Structural Strength
