Composite Liftgate Ductility Performance
Peter Foss, September 2008
The FMVSS 301R Fuel System Integrity Test requirements on closures as well as field experience have increased demand on the liftgate performance. The energy imparted to the liftgate structure in this test configuration is difficult to absorb with inherently brittle composite materials. This report documents the load-displacement response of several reinforced composite liftgates. The liftgates were evaluated with a static test designed to simulate the deformations experienced in a rear 70% offset deformable barrier crash test.
Fatigue Life Prediction of Short Fiber Reinforced Plastic Components
Robert Wahlmueller, September 2008
In automotive engineering the development of light weighted structures is very important to save fuel and so to reduce the pollution. Therefore the usage of new materials like fiber reinforced plastics is very attractive even for dynamically loaded parts. Nevertheless there is still little knowledge about the fatigue behavior of fiber reinforced plastics. So it is difficult to make an optimum design according to the divergent requirements on weight and strength. Some research works have been already done by BMW [1 2] and others [3-5].
