Abstract

Light weight design Plans am cranial role in enhancing efficiency and sustainability. The strategic use of advanced materials, such as fiber-reinforced plastics, can help achieving lightweight designs. However, the anisotropic material properties of composite materials also lead to new challenges in the design and manufacturing process. Additionally, due to the layered structure of composite parts, the number of design points is increased drastically. Moreover, the complex manufacturing process, including curing, makes composite parts prone to variations. Therefore, this research paper presents an innovative lightweight design approach that aims to overcome the described difficulties by linking the individual simulation steps, providing a continuous simulation strategy and taking variations into account. Finally, the presented simulation strategy is applied to an electrified cross skate.
