| Abstract Scope |
The potential for reducing weight in automobiles using high-strength steels, aluminum and magnesium alloys and polymer composites is well established. The challenge is to achieve the weight reduction at a cost acceptable to the user. Optimization of the material properties and processes together with robust design tools and joining technologies to enable multi-material structures is required. This has become possible through co-development of the new material, the component design and the manufacturing process using state-of-the-art Integrated Computational Materials Engineering models. Over the past decades, significant progress has been made in introducing new lightweight components. This talk will highlight Dr. Sachdev’s scientific and engineering contributions in meeting lightweighting requirements of vehicles. |
