Focuses on the latest use of CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) methods in design and failure analysis of composite materials and structures. This volume begins with a brief introduction to the design and failure analysis of composite materials, and then presents some recent, innovative CAE design examples of composite structures.

Divided into four sections, this title covers Body Structures, Powertrain Components, Suspension Components, and Electrical and Alternative Vehicle Components. The composite design examples presented come from the major OEMs and top-tier suppliers and are most relevant to the automotive materials challenges currently faced by the industry.

Nano-sized fillers have exceptionally higher reinforcing efficiency than conventional, large fillers. This book consists of a collection of technical papers selected from the automotive composites and other relevant sessions that the editors have organized for the SAE World Congress over the past decade.
