The 35th Design for X Symposium (DFX 2024)
DfX offers young scientists from the field of product development a platform for presenting new ideas and approaches to their research. (Registration is now OPEN)
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:
Lightweight components with natural fibre reinforced plastics (NFRP) offer great potential in reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions, but the weak mechanical properties of natural fibres limit possible applications. This contribution provides an insight into the design, manufacturing and recycling of components made from selectively reinforced hybrid NFRP, with the aim of expanding the range of applications for NFRP. A design method for an effective placement of local reinforcements to increase mechanical performance is developed. Automated fibre laying techniques like Tailored Fibre Placement (TFP) and Dry Fibre Placement (DFP) are considered. Finally, a laser-based pyrolysis process was developed for CF extraction. The design method is applied using the example of a seat shell.
