Integrating Prospective Scenarios in Life Cycle Engineering: Case Study of Lightweight Structures

M. Ostermann, J. Grenz, M. Triebus, F. Cerdas, T. Marten, T. Tröster, C. Herrmann, Energies (2023), 16(8), 3371

<jats:p>Lightweight design is a common approach to reduce energy demand in the use stage of vehicles. The production of lightweight materials is usually associated with an increase in energy demand, so the environmental impacts of lightweight structures need to be assessed holistically using a life cycle assessment. To estimate the life cycle environmental impacts of a product in its developmental stage, for example, by life cycle engineering, future changes in relevant influencing factors must be considered. Prospective life cycle assessment provides methods for integrating future scenarios into life cycle assessment studies. However, approaches for integrating prospective life cycle assessment into product development are limited. The objective of this work is to provide the methodological foundation for integrating future scenarios of relevant influencing factors in the development of lightweight structures. The applicability of the novel methodology is demonstrated by a case study of a structural component in a steel, aluminium, and hybrid design. The results show that appropriate decarbonisation measures can reduce the life cycle greenhouse gas emissions by up to 95 percent until 2050. We also found that shifts in the environmentally optimal design are possible in future scenarios. Therefore, the methodology and data provided contribute to improved decision-making in product development.</jats:p>

Feasibility Study of Compression Molding for Large Reinforcement Structures in the Commercial Vehicle Sector

J. Lückenkötter, J. Leimbach, T. Stallmeister, T. Marten, T. Tröster, in: Materials Research Proceedings, Materials Research Forum LLC, 2023, pp. 249-258

<jats:p>Abstract. Due to an increasing volume of shipments, there is a significant need for more delivery vehicles. One approach to reduce the associated increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is a new light weight design approach involving the substitution of conventional materials with glass fiber mat-reinforced thermoplastics (GMT) based on polypropylene (PP). The application of GMT by compression molding is a widely used process in the automotive industry. However, application in the commercial vehicle sector requires much larger dimensions, making it necessary to clarify whether the manufacturing process and material are suitable for semi-structural applications on this scale. To find this out, two replacement geometries are abstracted in this study and manufactured by varying the main manufacturing parameters. The feasibility can be demonstrated by recording and analyzing the resulting process variables and measuring the formed fiber distribution. At the end of the paper, recommendations are given for the production of GMT structures on the scale of commercial vehicles. </jats:p>


Individualization of Public Transport – Integration of Technical and Social Dimensions of Sustainable Mobility

M. Ostermann, J. Behm, T. Marten, T. Tröster, J. Weyer, K. Cepera, F. Adelt, in: Towards the New Normal in Mobility, Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden, 2023

In order to follow the 1.5 degree path of the Paris Climate Agreement, drastic greenhouse gas reduction measures are needed in the transport sector. The potential of public transport and new mobility services to reduce transport-related greenhouse gas emissions cannot yet be fully exploited, especially in rural regions. This paper presents the concept of an innovative mobility system, called NeMo.bil, that intends to fill the gap between individual and public transport to create a demand-oriented and sustainable mobility offer. The concept is based on convoy formation of autonomously driving lightweight vehicles serving the first and last mile and a larger towing vehicle carrying enough power and energy to move the convoy over longer distances at higher speeds. This combination of two different vehicles, intelligently controlled by a digital ecosystem, aims to significantly increasing energy, resource and cost efficiency. Based on an analysis of previous approaches for innovative mobility solutions, the concept is derived from a technical and sociological perspective and its potential for reducing energy demand is calculated.

The Effect of Texture on the Fatigue Properties of Ultrafine-Grained Interstitial-Free Steel

T. Niendorf, T. Marten, H.J. Maier, I. Karaman, Materials Science Forum (2008), 584-586, pp. 864-869

<jats:p>The present paper reports on the effect of texture on the cyclic stress-strain response (CSSR) and the fatigue life of ultrafine-grained (UFG) interstitial-free (IF) steel. Tests in the lowcycle fatigue (LCF) regime were conducted on material that was processed by the equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) technique along the so called “efficient” route 8E. This route has been shown to result in a homogeneous microstructure with a high fraction of high angle grain boundaries (HAGBs), which are beneficial for a stable CSSR. In addition, the evolution of the microstructure was characterized by means of electron optical techniques, including electron backscattered diffraction, and by X-Ray diffractometry. It was found that the initial texture of specimens cut from the ECAE billet along different orientations with respect to the extrusion direction (ED) has a substantial effect on the CSSR of the UFG IF steel. Furthermore, microscopy results indicated the notable influence of the last ECAE processing step on the evolution of damage in the material.</jats:p>
