Lightweight Vehicle Structural Design with Advanced Steel Grades and Profiles

摘要: In the recent decades, vehicle lighweighting problem has been addressed through various methodologies by different researchers and industries. Significant effort made recently to develop lightweight structural solutions employing state-of-the-art emerging materials, manufacturing processes technologies. The presented research aimed investigate possibility of designing structures using advanced steel grades novel profiles developed industry integrating smart design solutions. A case study was in paper on a freight wagon structure. stress analysis new carried out Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for validating proposed FEA considered standard loading scenarios, taking into account both static dynamic operational loads, results were evaluated against traditional similar benchmark homologated vehicle. demonstrate that products can be successfully employed sustainable feasible structures.
