Important results from the project
"Full Composites Car" aims to develop a 100% lightweight car in recyclable composite materials. The project is divided into the following: -New reinforced composite material ¨- New high speed production process with up to 100,000 units per year - Validated complete construction" Bertsson aims to halve its weight (900kg) with 100% recyclable materials - Development of a complete digital prototype and implementation of crash simulation and production simulation. The overall result can be used in several industrial areas, but mainly in the transport sector.
Expected long term effects
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** Two final development loops have been achieved with consistent progress in integrating components and mechanical results. These concepts have been fully modeled in CAD and validated by FEA calculations. Substance work has been carried out in particular on collision and exterior design. Despite many design updates, the vehicle has retained its good mechanical properties.
Approach and implementation
During the period, many advances were made with the vehicle´s modular CAD design. A strong reflection on general exterior design was achieved. All these advances have been implemented according to an iterative method based on the Development Loop. WP5: All development loops developed in CAD design (WP1) have simulations. Good results were achieved, in line with the latest DLs. Other static load cases were also achieved such as local stiffness (on roofs and doors) and acceleration. Crash modeling has also been performed for frontal crash, rear crash, side bar and rollover analysis.
