1、Plastics Application Technology for Safe and Lightweight Automobiles Sudhakar R. Marur Plastics Application Technology for Safe and Lightweight Automobiles Sudhakar R. Marur This book focuses on using plastics in automobiles for traditional applications such as interiors and body panels, and for mor

2、e advanced applications such as glazing and under-the-hood components. It provides application technology development for various aspects of automotive designconcept design, CAD modeling, predictive engineering methods through CAE, manufacturing method simulation, and prototype and tool making. It i

3、s based on a decade of research and real-world application of the authors. Described are design and manufacturing aspects of energy absorbers, fenders, front-end modules, instrument panels, steering wheels, headlamp assemblies, throttle bodies, glazing, and tailgates, as well as exterior components

4、such as roof racks, wipers, door handles, and rearview mirror assemblies. Using engineering thermoplastics for such applications will improve safety and reduce the weight of next-generation automobiles. Readers will gain an understanding of design and manufacturing methodologies of plastics and the

5、means to apply them to a particular vehicle platform. The intent is to help further engineering expertise about using plastics in automobiles so that they can be safer, lighter, and more energy efficient. About the Editor Sudhakar R. Marur led the plastics application technology laboratory, as its t
