The document discusses the use of composite materials, specifically carbon fiber reinforced polymers, in automobile design and manufacturing. It provides examples of the Alfa Romeo 4C and BMW i3 which make extensive use of carbon fiber composites. The 4C uses a carbon fiber unit body chassis to keep the curb weight below 900kg while maintaining strength and stiffness. BMW developed a new factory to mass produce carbon fiber body panels for the i3 through resin transfer molding, aiming to lower costs. The use of composites allows for lighter vehicles but recycling remains a challenge due to degradation of materials during the process.
The document is a statement from the Aluminum Association's Aluminum Transportation Group submitted to the EPA/NHTSA regarding proposed vehicle greenhouse gas emissions and fuel economy standards.
It summarizes four recent studies that support using aluminum to reduce vehicle weight to improve fuel efficiency and lower emissions. It argues that downweighting vehicles with aluminum can be done safely and cost-effectively. It also argues that a size-based compliance approach is appropriate and that downweighting vehicles will have a neutral or positive impact on safety while improving efficiency.
IRJET-Review Paper on Design and Analysis of Composite Truck Bumper using Fin...IRJET Journal
This document summarizes a research paper that analyzed the design and strength of a truck bumper made of mild steel versus a composite material using finite element analysis. The researchers modeled bumpers made of each material in CAD software and analyzed them for static linear stress and impact stress. Results showed the composite bumper experienced less stress than the mild steel bumper under static and impact loads. Additionally, the composite bumper weighed 74% less than the mild steel bumper. Based on the stress analyses, the researchers concluded a composite bumper would provide better performance than a mild steel bumper due to its higher strength to weight ratio and ability to experience less stress under loading.

Composite materials for automotive exteriorsSohail AD
Composite materials have been used in automotive exteriors since the 1930s. They provide benefits like reduced weight, improved strength and design flexibility. Sports cars extensively use carbon fiber composites for their exteriors due to requirements for high strength and stiffness. Composite materials are also used in truck and trailer body panels. While composites provide advantages, challenges remain around manufacturing volumes, repairs and supply chain development.
The document summarizes a statement made by Brian Tucker of Alcoa at a public hearing on a proposed rule to reduce greenhouse gases and fuel consumption from heavy duty vehicles. The statement argues that:
1) The proposed rule should provide more credit for weight reduction in vehicles, not just tires and wheels, through use of lighter materials like aluminum.
2) A study found replacing 3,300 pounds of material with aluminum in Class 8 trucks could save 1,612 gallons of fuel and 18 tons of CO2 annually per truck through increased payload capacity and fuel economy.
3) The proposed rule is missing opportunities to incentivize weight reduction through materials like aluminum in vocational vehicles which could provide additional emissions reductions.

Machining Versus Molding Tolerances in Manufacturing Automotive Sealing SystemsScientific Review SR
The automotive industry has been at the forefront of converting traditional metal parts to plastics. The latter surely offer greater design freedom, opportunity for consolidation, fewer assembly operations, reduced secondary finishing, weight reduction, lower total system costs, a range of properties tailored to specific applications, the ability to withstand temperatures, immunity to most chemicals and corrosive environments. They offer processing in many colors, electrical non-conductivity (insulation from electrical shocks), good thermal breaks (“warmth-to-the-touch”), and low sound transmission (tendency to muffle noise). Nonetheless, plastics have only tapped an estimated 15% of their tremendous potential to replace metals. This is particularly to increase with newer high-performance plastics, increasing sophistication in alloying and blending technologies, and use of computer-aided design and engineering (CAD/CAE) systems. The latter enable engineers to visualize complex parts and molding tools more effectively and faster than ever before. This article identifies fundamental steps and requirements to conduct an efficient and successful conversion of metallic parts to plastics, reviewing the replacement design process from concept to production; an under-the-hood rear retainer for Ford Motor Company is detailed as a case study.

Sinan shares their journey into solving complex build-cache problems that affect Gradle builds. By understanding the challenges and solutions found in our journey, we aim to demonstrate the possibilities for faster builds. The case study reveals how overlapping outputs and cache misconfigurations led to significant increases in build times, especially as the project scaled up with numerous modules using Paparazzi tests. The journey from diagnosing to defeating cache issues offers invaluable lessons on maintaining cache integrity without sacrificing functionality.
Accident detection system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The Rapid growth of technology and infrastructure has made our lives easier. The
advent of technology has also increased the traffic hazards and the road accidents take place
frequently which causes huge loss of life and property because of the poor emergency facilities.
Many lives could have been saved if emergency service could get accident information and
reach in time. Our project will provide an optimum solution to this draw back. A piezo electric
sensor can be used as a crash or rollover detector of the vehicle during and after a crash. With
signals from a piezo electric sensor, a severe accident can be recognized. According to this
project when a vehicle meets with an accident immediately piezo electric sensor will detect the
signal or if a car rolls over. Then with the help of GSM module and GPS module, the location
will be sent to the emergency contact. Then after conforming the location necessary action will
be taken. If the person meets with a small accident or if there is no serious threat to anyone’s
life, then the alert message can be terminated by the driver by a switch provided in order to
avoid wasting the valuable time of the medical rescue team.

NATURAL DEEP EUTECTIC SOLVENTS AS ANTI-FREEZING AGENT
ALUMINIUM BODY PANELS FOR CAR BODIES.docx
1. In recent years, environmental improvement and safety have
become veryimportant for the automobile industry.
Environmental improvement andsafety features lead to increases
in car body weight. To reduce weight, there-fore, it is necessary
to select optimum materials such as aluminum alloys.Figure 2.1
shows the plan to reduce CO emissions in Europe.
Europeanautomobile manufacturers have to achieve an average
CO2 emission targetof 140 g/km for their fleet of new cars to be
sold in 2008.
Japanese auto-mobile manufacturers have to achieve the same
target by 2009. In NorthAmerica and Japan,
automobile manufacturers also have to achieve fuelconsumption
regulation targets. For these reasons, aluminum alloys
areessential to reduce the weight of car bodies

2. Automobile body panels consist of a double structure with an
outer paneland an inner panel. For the outer panels, higher
strength materials areespecially required to provide sufficient
denting resistance. For the innerpanels, higher deep drawing
capacity materials are especially required toallow the
manufacture of more complex shapes. In other words,
differentproperties are required for the outer and inner panels,
.Research and development of aluminum body panels began in
the 1970s
