Chrysler and Daimler partner with AISI for auto structures.(METALS/POLYMERS/CERAMICS)(American Iron and Steel Institute)(Brief article)

Chrysler, Daimler, and the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) jointly announce the success of a new project aimed at improving vehicle safety and fuel economy while reducing overall vehicle weight. By taking a holistic approach to sheet metal structures and applying computer modeling to generate efficient energy and load management, the latest advanced high-strength steels may be applied to achieve lower weight and improved occupant protection.

At the center of the development is a new Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) modeling tool called "topology optimization." This program determines the areas of highest strain in the body-in-white. After the high strain areas are ...
