Abstract

This chapter takes a look at the automotive application of textile composites regarding different aspects of fatigue. After giving an introduction to modern lightweight design principles and the use of textile composites in automobiles in general, multi-material and hybrid design approaches for lightweight design in the automotive sector are presented. Because an automotive application implies large series production, cost and, in particular, quality play an important role for those critical parts for which high performance even after a long exposition to fatigue loads is vital for the system's total performance and safety of passengers. One aspect this chapter covers is, therefore, the need for cost-effective quality control in the production process of textile semi-finished products and complex preforms.
