Micro Abstract:
Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) are increasingly used in the motorcycle industry due to their good weight specific mechanical properties. Complex geometries, mechanical requirements as well as cost issues and manufacturing influences are the main design challenges here. Therefore, advanced optimization techniques have been developed for CFRP components in order to find an optimum between costs, weight and manufacturing robustness. This approach is shown using selected case studies.
