Aerobase Innovations AB contributes to FlexCrash European project by developing more accurate and adaptable safety simulations that replicate real-world crash scenarios.
The FlexCrash project represents a pivotal step toward addressing these emerging challenges. The main goal of the project is to use hybrid manufacturing technologies to apply surface patterns using additive manufacturing, with either locally strengthening purposes for the not desired to deform parts, or locally weaken the parts to deform (Crashbox etc.) as well as integration of active systems to maintain mass reduction goals while maintaining safety requirements.
FlexCrash partner Biswajit Dalai, from Luleå University of Technology (LTU), presented part of his investigation carried out within the project in the 6th International Conference on Processing & Characterization of Materials (ICPCM24) held in Rourkela, India, from December 5 to 7.
FlexCrash project coordinator, Eurecat, participated in the 12th Conference of the Research & Innovation Framework Program of the European Union in Spain held on November 28th in Oviedo, Spain.
Eurecat, acting as the project’s coordinator, presented FlexCrash at MetalMadrid 2024, part of the Advanced Manufacturing Madrid exhibition, celebrated from 20th – 21st of November in Madrid, Spain.
As a result of the study of the standardisation landscape several standards relevant for the FlexCrash project have been found. They are specially to manufacturing processes such as welding and allied processes and additive manufacturing. Also, some technical committees have been identified as relevant and they can be grouped into four main areas:
Metallurgical and Materials Transactions A, 2024 by Biswajit Dalai, Simon Jonsson, Jörgen Kajberg, Liang Yu (Luleå University of Technology), Manel Da Silva (Eurecat Technology Centre) Abstract The current study investigated the microstructure evolution, mechanical properties, and fracture behavior of a high pressure die cast (HPDC) novel secondary alloy. The as-cast microstructure comprised (i) Primary…
Bijish Babu, project partner and Expert in Computational Mechanics & Material Science at Aerobase Innovations AB, presented the key achievements and expected outcomes of the FlexCrash project during the CISMA project Kick-Off meeting
