Today, huge interest for introducing composite in passenger cars
Crashworthiness requirements
Failure mechanisms within the composite material (e.g. fibre failure)
Requirement: constant deceleration of the car
Full scale crash test
Lab scale
Reliable simulationPhysically based material model

phenomenological approach, based on experimental observations
Summary
• Huge interest for the introducing composites into cars
• Car industry needs reliable simulation for crash of composites• Experimental material characterisation is required for the
development and validation of a material models
Make vehicle lighter,
safer, and more Fuel-
