PERVASIVE ACTION
Nondestructive inspection of complex components and assemblies
Ultrasonic inspection of components and assemblies made of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) is subject to special challenges due to material properties and complex component geometries. In order to optimize these inspections the simulation models which are used to adapt the ultrasonic inspections to relevant application parameters have to be modified and optimized accordingly. Saarbrücken based Fraunhofer Institute for Nondestructive Testing IZFP did just that.

BEST INNOVATIONS
CCeV member receives award from automobile manufacturer
With the Supplier Innovation Award 2016 the BMW Group marked out Hufschmied Zerspanungstechnik. Worth the award were its systematic research of suitable milling technology, consultancy and customer service for the process optimisation in i3 and i8, concluding for the time being in a large number of contributions for the large-scale production of the carbon-core chassis of the BMW 7 series.

LIGHT WEIGHT DESIGN IN SPORTS CAR
Advanced Multimaterial Technologies applied in body in white win Innovation Award
Carbon fibre, aluminium and magnesium – the AMG GT R, the new spearhead of the sports car and performance brand Mercedes-AMG, employs an especially smart material mix. In recognition of its intelligent combination of high-tech materials, the AMG GT R has now won the Innovation Award at Experience Composites 2016, a new trade fair for fibre composite materials, lightweight design and carbon fibre.

DRIVING SPREE
Fiber reinforced composite structures in the Next-Generation-Car – Interurban Vehicle (NGC-IUV)
The German Aerospace Center (DLR) is developing innovative, functional-integrated, safe and light automotive vehicle structures within the DLR Next-Generation-Car (NGC) project. Various lightweight strategies are being studied on three different vehicle concepts in order to reduce the mass-related driving resistance and to improve the driving dynamics and passenger safety.

LIGHT TRAVEL
Self-supporting composite structure for public service buses
With a combination of Long Fiber Injection (LFI) process from KraussMaffei and InMold primer the Nanotechnology Center of Composites (NCC), the Russian lightweight construction research center in Moscow, produced a tailgate module in a self-supporting composite structure for a public service bus. This modular bus concept won the 2016 JEC Innovation Award.

SCIENCE FRICTION
Fabrication, evaluation and design of high performance C-fiber reinforced ceramic friction materials
The University of Bayreuth employs a very special test bench for C-fiber reinforced ceramic materials: On a nationwide unique dynamometer, large brake discs with a diameter up to 1 m can be studied at speeds up to 2500 rpm in combination with different counterparts, e.g. conventional or ceramic brake pads. Since the completion of this test rig several research projects were successfully realized.
