Cover Story | Chassis

Edge Ductility as Key Enabler for Design Freedom in Chassis Components

Chassis performance is limited by edge-crack sensitivity of shear-cut edges, which is commonly assessed via hole-expansion testing. However, this only considers edges under tension and overlooks compressive strain effects. Tata Steel has therefore developed a test that evaluates edge-crack sensitivity under compression. Combined test results show that complex phase steels are less edge-crack sensitive than high-strength low-alloy steel, an advantage leveraged in Tata Steel’s CP800 HyperFlange.
Cover Story | Chassis

Chassis Trends from Lightweight Design to Validation

The transition from combustion engines to battery-electric powertrains is leading to new vehicle platforms with altered mass distribution, higher overall weight, and integrated battery packs. This transformation has a direct impact on the design and virtual validation of chassis components. Here, Hirschvogel highlights the trends in materials and forging processes for chassis and axle components made from ultra-high-strength steels and aluminum alloys.
Interview

Our approach coordinates all motion actuators

Chassis systems are becoming smarter, more connected, and AI-enabled. In an interview with ATZ, Gerta Marliani from Bosch explains which solutions make strategic, technical, and economic sense, and how brake-by-wire and steer-by-wire systems enable a new level of driving performance.

Determination of Reliability in the Vehicle Electrical System – A Challenge

The reliability of the vehicle electrical system and its electronic components is becoming increasingly important due to the ongoing automation and electrification of vehicles. In this context, reliability refers to statistical assessments of functional safety, service life, and failure rates. Physical Software Solutions, Rosenheim University of Applied Sciences, and the Technical University of the German Armed Forces Munich demonstrate how risks can be statistically assessed.
Acoustics | NVH

Physics-based NVH Development Method for Varying Drive Concepts

The increasing diversity of vehicle architectures has a fundamental impact on acoustic development. At the same time, development cycles are shortening, prototype stages are being reduced, and end customer expectations regarding acoustic comfort continue to rise. To enable robust development decisions under these conditions, FEV pursues an approach that combines experimental benchmark studies with virtual vehicle integration.
Interior | HMI

Overtrust – User Studies as the Key to a Safe HMI Development

As assistance and automation levels increase, so does the responsibility to design human-machine interactions solidly based on scientific principles. International user studies show that excessive confidence, also known as overtrust, remains a significant safety risk, and its prevalence varies across markets. Bertrandt develops a research approach to address this issue and provides data-driven recommendations for safe, culturally adaptive HMI design.
Research | Lightweight Design

Lightweight Design Battery Housing – Sustainability Assessment throughout the Life Cycle

To reduce the CO2 footprint of a battery-electric vehicle, comprehensive approaches also include material production, component manufacturing, and recycling. In the Circulus project, Fraunhofer LBF developed a lightweight design housing for lithium-ion batteries that uses fiber-reinforced recycled plastic instead of aluminum and underwent a CO2-based life cycle assessment.
In The Spotlight

Material Category PFAS – Forever and Ever

Per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances, better known as PFAS, are used in numerous automotive applications today. However, due to their indefinite service life and bioaccumulative properties, they pose risks to human health and the environment. Replacing all PFAS, for example, in elastomer seals or plain bearings, seems unrealistic. For some applications, a substitute is already available today.
