Description:
The automotive industry currently faces a significant number of economic and
environmental challenges related to fuel efficiency and electrification of
transportation. As a result, there has been in recent years a sharp increase in
demand for lighter components in response to the need to save weight to
reduce GHG emissions coming from conventional combustion engine vehicles
and to increase driving range of electric vehicles. So far, lightweighting efforts
have focused on a wide range of materials including metals and advanced
composite materials. However, despite the significant progress accomplished,
the industry is still looking for more cost-effective solutions for the massproduction of lightweight components. One of the most-promising alternatives
for the fabrication of cost-effective lightweight components consists in metalcomposite hybrids. Hybrid components made of steel and advanced
composites combine high mechanical performance with low weight. This
Project thus focuses on the development of hybrid components manufactured
using a one-step process. In particular, this Project aims at modeling the
forming process of metal/composites hybrids to allow metal deformation and
fibre orientations to be predicted in order to provide the necessary information
required for the design of components and production tools.
