• The Automotive Composites Market is expected to grow exponentially due to massive demand for fuel efficient vehicles and innovation in vehicles such as reduction in weight

​

• Favorable regulations are creating vast scope for new vehicles

​

• Peridynamic modeling can help to design novel vehicle with frame made without the use of metal

​

• Data obtained from a peridynamic crash simulation can be used to asses the capability of the frame to protect the vehicle occupants during a collision
