Fatigue4Light project is focused on the development of new tests and computer simulation methods to better estimate the fatigue life of chassis components and to select the optimal materials for lighter vehicle chassis.
The project will apply new materials tailored to the requirements of vehicle chassis, such as advanced high-strength steels, special automotive stainless steels, high-strength aluminium alloys and hybrid metal-fibre reinforced polymeric materials.
The goal is to reduce vehicle chassis weight compared to the current solutions, taking into account eco-design and circular economy aspects.
Fatigue4Light will address the applicability of metal and composite materials for their applicability as affordable solutions for Electric Vehicles chassis’ lightweight.
Development of two modelling approaches in order to optimise the selection of new materials and reduce the implementation time between material development and the design of a new chassis part.
