Abstract

Composite materials are becoming more and more popular in automotive industry since classical materials are, in general, expensive and deficient. This paper presents a study on how metals, used in the construction of car doors, can be successfully replaced by composite materials. The vibration behavior of a car door, made of composite materials, is studied and, since the rigidity of this component is low, a solution is proposed in which the structure is stiffened. The modal analysis and finite element method are used to identify the eigenfrequencies and eigenmodes for this structure.
