Life Cycle Design & Engineering of Lightweight Multi-Material Automotive Body Parts

Abstract

Recent years introduced process and material innovations in the design and manufacturing of lightweight body parts. Lightweight materials and new manufacturing processes often carry a higher environmental burden in earlier life cycle stages. The prospective life cycle evaluation of newly developed manufacturing processes and related production systems remains to this day a challenging task. Against this background, this chapter introduces a modeling and simulation approach for determining the potential environmental impacts of new manufacturing processes and production systems for multi-material lightweight body parts.
