Optimisation of steel properties and autobody structural designs for axial, side and off-set impact loading

Objective

Steel properties currently used in FE modelling of automotive 'body in white' structures are generally based on information derived from quasi-static tensile tests, thus tending to neglect the strain rate hardening benefits associated with certain types of steels. This project will investigate the effect of both strain rate and temperature in the range -40 C to +80 C on the tensile properties of several mild and high strength steel grades. The data developed will also be used to ascertain the influence of materials properties on the formability, dent resistance and collapse resistance of these steels.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
