The relation between vehicle mass and fuel consumption "(Eliezer et al., 1998)" (Musfirah & Jaharah, 2012). Literature Review: Potential Materials for the weight reduction of automotive bodies
Source publication
The purpose of this overview is to discover materials commonly used in the automotive industry and provide an overview of optimized composites to reduce weight, cost, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The cost of carbon fiber, Al and Mg lightweight composites is much higher than conventional materials. It is therefore important for research and d...

Natural fibres (NFRs) composite materials are acquiring popularity in the modern world due to their eco-friendliness and superior mechanical properties. Although it has been shown that determining this is a herculean endeavour in the literature, the water absorption (WA) qualities of the natural fibre (NFR) are crucial in the progressive degradatio...
Plant fibers possess high strength, high fracture toughness and elasticity, and have proven useful because of their diversity, versatility, renewability, and sustainability. For biomedical applications , these natural fibers have been used as reinforcement for biocomposites to infer these hybrid biomaterials mechanical characteristics, such as stif...
In recent years, the attention toward the use of basalt fiber reinforced composite in shipbuilding is significantly grown. Basalt is a green and environmentally friendly high-tech fiber made without environmental pollution. Among the natural fibers that can be used as reinforcement, it represents one of the most interesting due to its excellent mec...
The use of fibers, especially natural fibers, as construction materials has begun to develop. Natural fibers are also used for soil stabilization, where there are two mechanisms for increasing soil strength: tensile strength and fiber-soil friction. The purpose of this research is to design and build simple, inexpensive tools that can be used to te...
Incorporating fibers into asphalt mixtures as additives and stabilizers can significantly enhance the performance of asphalt pavements. This study aimed to analyze the impact of using basalt and bamboo fibers as modifiers on the properties of asphalt mastics. The effects of different types of fibers on rutting resistance, fatigue resistance, elasti...
