Design of automotive structures
Objectives
Development of generic steel solutions and deployment at our clients:
- To promote the application of the new steel products (e.g. DP, TRIP, FeMn, Usibor, Usilight, QuietSteel® etc.)
- By optimal use of manufacturing techniques for steel (e.g. forming, assembly)
- To compete against aluminium, plastics etc.
Customer support
At the different phases:
- Advanced engineering
- Vehicle concept and design
Technical work realised on:
- Body in White
- Chassis
- Closures
- Suspension parts
- Seats
- Wheels
Including Noise Vibration and Harshness (NVH) aspects and paying special attention to new sandwich steel solutions.
According to the market's needs and customers' requirements: weight reduction, safety, comfort, cost reduction, robustness, time-to-market etc.
Development of partnerships
For physical tests (crash, fatigue etc.) with engineering offices, industrialists, and our clients.
Generic steel solutions
- Development of new ideas
- Virtual design of the structures and their feasibility
- Numerical validation of the In-Use Properties
- Manufacturing of demonstrators
- Experimental and industrial validation (economic and technical)
- Vehicle and parts design
- Upgrading and down-gauging optimisation
- Forming simulation with springback validation
- Coupling to life conditions: crash simulations, stiffness simulations, dent simulation
