Designing a versatile, multi-material EV battery enclosure

As automotive OEMs focus on transitioning to a market of all-electric vehicles in the near future (by 2035, for General Motors), electric vehicle (EV) components will need to be produced at higher volumes. In the composites world, the relatively lighter weight, higher strength and thermal resistance properties of many composite materials make them an increasingly attractive …

Composition and performance of BMC and SMC

SMC and BMC, as well as the following derivatives: TMC (thick molding compound), HPC (high performance compound), CIC (continuous impregnant) and AMC (molding compound), are fiber reinforced composites, which are mainly composed of thermosetting resin (usually up unsaturated polyester), reinforcing material (usually glass fiber) and inorganic filler. Common SMC formula Other components (such as low …
