Study of the use of metallic foam in a vehicle for an energy‐economy racing circuit

Abstract: The emphasis of this work is on the use of metal foams in automotive design for weight reduction with the purpose of studying the mechanical behaviour and possible project alternatives, through the modelling and subsequent computer simulation according to the case study -chassis of the "Sabiµ 5". The "Sabiµs" are hyper-economic vehicles created to compete in an energyeconomy racing circuit (Shell Eco-marathon). For the structural analysis, the finite element software Abaqus/CAE is used. The tests performed are… Show more

“…Depending on the application area (automotive, aerospace, marine, construction, and defense) and specific usage requirements (impact absorption, ballistic performance, lightness, damping isolation, etc. ), aluminum, magnesium, iron, and zinc alloys are the most preferable matrix metals by lots of researchers [7][8][9][10]. On the other side, if the technical literature is scanned studiously, there are many different reinforcement ceramics that can be used in the metallic matrix.…”
