Presenting Fatigue4Light outcomes during a webinar on lightweight aluminium manufacturing technologies for automotive applications
Sergio Jiménez, Fatigue4Light project’s coordinator and Associate Lecturer from the International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), participated in the webinar “Lightweight Aluminium Manufacturing Technologies for Automotive Applications”, organised by the FLAMINGo project in collaboration with the European Federation for Welding, Joining and Cutting (EWF) on June 17th, 2024.
During the event, he introduced the main outcomes of the Fatigue4Light project, which has developed 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.

Apart from Fatigue4Light and FLAMINGo, the webinar included presentations on the sister projects FlexCrash and SALEMA, also working on the development of lightweight aluminium solutions for the automotive industry.
The Fatigue4Light and FLAMINGo projects are part of the Enlight EVs cluster, which brought together EU-funded R&D projects developing innovative solutions, tested in industrial pilots, that can be rapidly applied in the automotive market to reduce EVs weight, while considering structural integrity, passengers’ safety, and sustainability, through eco-design and circular practices.
