Abstract
In this chapter, after a review of textile structures for composites, the role of fiber architecture in the manufacturing of automotive composites components is discussed. The various textile preforms are classified according to fiber architecture and manufacturing technology. The Sunrise™ electric vehicle program is used as an example to illustrate the design procedure and the feasibility for large-scale manufacturing of automotive structural composite components at targeted weight and affordable cost. Specifically composite pillars and wheel wells are used as examples to demonstrate the procedure in the integrated design for manufacturing (IDM) of automotive structural composites based on the Fabric Geometry Model (FGM). The chapter concludes with a summary and discussion of future trends in the use of textile composites for automotive structural components
