Composite crash modelling

Greve L, Pickett AK. Delamination testing and modelling for composite crash simulation. Compos Sci Technol 2006 66 816-26. [Pg.292]

National Highways Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported an interesting study (NHTSA, 2012) on material substitution from steel to polymer composite in the 2007 Chevrolet Silverado FE model. The substitution resulted in a 19% decrease in vehicle weight (from 2307 to 1874kg) with no effect on safety in front crash tests. However, replacing metal components with composite or plastic is not a trivial process it requires the redesign of the vehicle and therefore demands upfront capital investment as well as design time. [Pg.124]
