Knowledge Base Repository

In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
Short-fibre reinforced thermoplastics (SFRT) are increasingly being used in 21st century’s automotive construction. Besides statically loaded parts, SFRT are also used for safety-relevant components such as door modules and crash absorbers. Temperature, chemically aggressive media as well as mechanical loading lead to aging effects within the plastic, which generally, weakens the material’s mechanical properties. Thus, within the present paper, a series of tests is introduced in order to investigate the effect of mechanical aging on the material’s crashworthiness behaviour.
