Bonded Car: CAE Reliability Tools & Design Methods for Hybrid Bonded Joints in Automotive Structures
To enable companies to successfully compete today and in the future, they need to develop the next generation of lightweight, environmentally friendly, and sustainable transportation systems. As these products are subjected to demanding and repeated loadings, it is necessary to predict the durability performance of the joints in the vehicle. The Bonded Car project has developed commercially available software simulation tools to predict the operating life of five joining technologies: Structural Adhesive, Self-Pierce Rivets, Aluminium Spot Welds, Weld-Bonded, and Riv-Bonded. This will enable the determination of the type, location, and number of joints required to meet the durability operating performance of the structure while reducing both cost and weight.
Feedback Overview:
The Bonded Car project addresses a critical need in the automotive industry by providing tools to predict the durability of various joining technologies, which is essential for the development of lightweight and sustainable transportation systems. To enhance the business value and reach product-market fit, it is recommended to focus on user-friendly interfaces, integration with existing automotive design software, and providing comprehensive training and support for users.
