This chapter takes a closer look at the lightweight design in regard to the material selection. The lightweight potential is mainly determined by the choice of the material. The geometry of a structural member therefore initially remains unchanged. Using the lightweight index and the specific energy absorption, different configurations are assessed with regard to their lightweight potential.

Lightweight Design Concepts: Material Selection

  • Andreas Öchsner

摘要

This chapter takes a closer look at the lightweight design in regard to the material selection. The lightweight potential is mainly determined by the choice of the material. The geometry of a structural member therefore initially remains unchanged. Using the lightweight index and the specific energy absorption, different configurations are assessed with regard to their lightweight potential.
