【 摘 要 】

Vehicle lightweight technology has become an important means to solve the fuel economy and environmental protection of vehicles. Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) is the best lightweight material for body. The main objective of this paper is to apply CFRP to body panels (hood), the basic performances of CFRP hood were studied by finite element simulation and sample test, Exploring the feasibility of replacing CFRP parts with steel parts and testing its lightweight effect.
