Design and fabrication of an automotive frame model leveraging anisotropic topology optimization and tailored fiber placement

This paper presents a case study of the design, fabrication, and evaluation of an automotive rear-frame model made of variable axial composites (VAC), using a tailored fiber placement (TFP) technique. Conventionally, the design of a three-dimensional complex VAC structure places significant demands...
