The rubber base provides the necessary lateral displacement elasticity

 For a long time, composite materials have been considered unsuitable for structural applications in commercial vehicles. Hutchinson calls the structural composite core of these shafts a 'multi-functional suspension blade' because its design feature is that it integrates 4 important functions in one component-suspension, steering, anti-vibration/noise And anti-roll.

According to reports, its CO2 emissions per kilometer is 49g, which is an outstanding world record for a pure (non-plug-in) hybrid vehicle. In order to adapt to this lateral extension, the rubber base provides the necessary lateral displacement elasticity, and they can also provide additional filtering of road vibration and noise. In Wholesale polymethacrylimide contrast, the various properties of isotropic materials are the same in all directions. Thermodynamic analysis is used to determine the heating 'hot spots' during the molding process, and to calculate and predict the deformation and residual stress caused by processing during the curing cycle.

Bertrand Florentz, technical director of the Hutchinson Composites Technology Center ('CTeC'), recalled that the part was ready for production at the time, but due to the preference for traditional steel suspensions, the production plan was eventually cancelled. According to reports, this hybrid electric concept car consumes only 1. In fact, based on the symmetry of deformation, when the left wheel moves upward, the right wheel also moves upward, which is actually the definition of an anti-tilt connection.

During processing, design engineers were able to integrate or eliminate 12 components (picture from Peugeot Motor Company).2m long, has a nominal width of 140mm, and a bow depth of about 315mm. When designing a car suspension, the first consideration is that this component assembly needs to bear static load (the fixed weight of the car) and dynamic load (generated during operation), which is equivalent to the tensile force distributed on all three spatial axes , Compressive force and shear force, that is, longitudinal, vertical and transverse loads.
