Deakin research to improve safety and energy use of cars and planes
Cars and aeroplanes in the near future could be lighter, stronger, safer and more energy efficient thanks to research at Deakin University.
Dr Bronwyn Fox, of Deakin’s Centre for Material and Fibre Innovation, leads a team of doctoral research students who are investigating the use of carbon fibre materials in car and aeroplane manufacture. Their work could see a new generation of cars and aeroplanes with lower energy consumption and improved safety.
Dr Fox said: “Carbon fibre has a higher stiffness to weight ratio than steel, but it also absorbs more energy per kilogram, with the potential to make cars lighter and safer. Lighter cars are more fuel-efficient.”
“Similarly, as well as making aeroplanes lighter and more fuel efficient, the melding process we are investigating also works to make them safer. The fewer the number of joints and rivets you have, the fewer points for fractures there are,” she said.
Enter Quickstep, a new faster process for producing carbon fibre invented in Western Australia and being road tested at Deakin. The research is supported by Quickstep Ltd and the Victorian Centre for Advanced Materials Manufacturing.
Projects such as these show the difference Deakin University is making to industry and the community.
