Analysis of influence of plastic bumper on radio wave characteristics

From the standpoint of vehicle appearance, vehicle radar units should be located behind plastic bumpers. Plastic bumpers are made of dielectric material, which causes reflection, scattering, refraction, and diffraction…

Numercial design and analysis of flexible structures

When working with lightweight structures it is fascinating to observe how their inherent beauty seems to rather spontaneously ‘appear’ – usually after a laborious process of definition and optimisation, not by a…

Study on mechanical characteristics of lithium-polymer pouch cell battery for electric vehicle

In order to characterize deformation and failure behaviors of Lithium-Polymer pouch cell battery and its components, various mechanical tests were performed. Uniaxial tensile properties of electrodes, separator, and…
