Abstract
The functions of circular braided composite materials in suspension stabilizer bars were investigated in an effort to reduce vehicle weights. By applying these composites in the automotive industry, productivity was also considered and was increased by using a third-generation method of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic fabrication (the PulPress® process). Analytic and finite element analyses were carried out to determine the geometric parameters of the composite stabilizer bars. The static and dynamic properties were measured and compared with theoretical estimations. The feasibility of the third-generation method is discussed with a process capability analysis.
