“…Based on the experimental results, it was found that the laminated structure has better penetration resistance against the flat head projectile, and the placement of an aluminum plate on the impact surface can change the failure mode of carbon fiber laminates and improve the energy absorption level of composite plates. On a component level application, Wang et al 31 established a multi‐objective integrated optimization framework considering for the fabrication of a tapered rim composed of CFRP rim and aluminum alloy spoke. In most of the literature AA 2024‐T3 has been used for the fabrication of FMLs 7,32–39 .…”

A detailed experimental investigation was carried out for the high‐velocity ballistic response of AA 1100‐H14 based carbon‐fiber metal laminates (FMLs). FMLs with different metal volume fractions and the same thickness of carbon‐epoxy fiber laminates were tested to examine the surface and internal damage. The ballistic performance parameters, namely % escalation in absorbed energy, specific energy absorbed, ballistic limit, specific perforation energy, first cracking energy, and global deformation profile, were studied and a comparison was drawn with pure carbons fiber reinforced epoxy composite laminates. Despite having greater thickness, pure carbon fiber‐reinforced epoxy composite laminates absorbed less impact energy than FMLs and failed catastrophically. For FMLs, the % escalation in the absorbed energy and the specific energy absorption kept increasing with the increasing impact velocity until the onset of perforation. Once the perforation started, both these parameters showed a decreasing trend. Thick FMLs absorbed a good amount of energy, leading to projectile recoil suffering minimal damage. The ballistic velocity, specific perforation energy, and first cracking energy on the front and rear face of FMLs layers showed an increasing trend. The minimum for the thinner and maximum for the thicker FMLs attributed to the large thickness and more metal volume fraction. Contrary to the large deformation of the impacting points, pure carbon fiber‐reinforced epoxy composite laminates showed very minimal deformation as compared to FMLs. The brittle nature of the epoxy resin resisted the deformation to a large extent leading to less energy absorption.Highlights High‐velocity ballistic response of AA 1100‐H14 based carbon‐FMLs was investigated. Ballistic performance parameters of FMLs were studied and was compared with carbons fiber reinforced composite laminates. The ballistic limit of FMLs showed a direct dependence its thickness and metal volume fraction. In the absence of any metallic layer, pure carbons fiber reinforced composite laminates absorbed less impact energy.

“…However, to make NSGA‐II better handle multiobjective optimization problems, NSGA‐II can be modified. The Modified NSGA‐II algorithm has good results in handling multiobjective problems 26 . Khalkhali 27 used a MNSGA‐II to conduct a multiobjective analysis of the S‐rail of the car by taking the absorbed energy ( E ), peak crushing force ( F max ), and structural mass ( W ) as objective functions.…”

This paper designs and optimizes a new structure hybrid material B‐pillar assembly. Establish a finite element analysis model for the side impact test of an electric vehicle to verify the model's accuracy. Construct a finite element model of the hybrid material B‐pillar assembly. Combined with the static performance analysis of the B‐pillar, the laminate design of the carbon fiber composite B‐pillar reinforcement plate and optimization. For the outer and inner panels of the B‐pillar, the surrogate model method and the multiobjective optimization method are combined to set 11 design variables and 13 responses. The optimal Latin hypercube design method was used to randomly sample each design variable and fit the radial basis function (RBF) approximate model. The modified second‐generation non‐dominated sorting genetic algorithm (MNSGA‐II) was used to carry out multiobjective optimization of the mixed material B‐pillar assembly, and the multicriteria decision‐making method was used to obtain the optimal solution for the Pareto solution set. A drop weight impact test was performed on the hybrid material B‐pillar assembly. The results showed that the peak collision force of the hybrid material B‐pillar was reduced by 43.7% compared with the original steel B‐pillar, the specific energy absorption was increased by 17.5%, and the side impact safety performance was better. After optimization, the weight of the mixed material B‐column was reduced by 26.44%. The improvement rates of the intrusion amount at P2 and the intrusion speed at P1 were 23.99% and 0.63%, respectively, and the lightweight effect and side impact safety were significantly improved.Highlights The finite element analysis parameters of carbon fiber composite materials were constructed through experiments, and the basis for simulation analysis under various working conditions of the B‐pillar based on performance‐driven optimization was established. A hybrid material B‐pillar design method is proposed, which consists of a variable‐thickness high‐strength steel B‐pillar outer plate, a variable‐thickness high‐strength steel B‐pillar inner plate, and a carbon fiber composite B‐pillar reinforcement plate. The super layer of the carbon fiber composite B‐pillar reinforcement plate was optimized and the laying plan of the carbon fiber composite B‐pillar reinforcement plate was determined. Performance‐driven optimization is adopted to realize the collaboration of multilevel design and optimization methods such as B‐pillar conceptual design, detailed design, and multiobjective optimization. A modified NSGA‐II algorithm was proposed and combined with the multicriteria decision‐making method and the entropy‐weighted gray relation analysis method to determine the Pareto optimal solution and the optimal design scheme for the mixed material B‐pillar.

Substantial range, handling and acceleration improvements in high-performance vehicles can be achieved by weight reduction. An important area for weight reduction on a car is the wheels. A prototype carbon fibre/epoxy wheel has been developed using a combination of automated fibre placement (AFP) and hand layup for the Sunswift 7 solar car. A three-piece wheel design that utilises each process where best suited has been analysed and optimised using the ANSYS ACP PrepPost suite, manufactured, and mechanically tested. The wheel disc was produced using AFP and featured selective reinforcement in the form of spokes. The laminate for the disc has been optimised using CGTech VERICUT VCP and VCS to minimise gaps and overlaps and simulate the manufacturing process. The rim and tyre mounting region of the wheel have been manufactured using hand layup, and adhesively bonded to the disc. This hybrid manufacturing approach has demonstrated an advancement in the feasibility of combining traditional and automated composites manufacturing, providing insight into the manufacture of parts and products with complex shapes in the future.
