SIMLab – Structural Impact Laboratory
Computer simulation of how aluminium and other light alloy structures behave in collisions
Goal for safer and lighter cars: 100 kg of aluminium to replace 200 kg of steel. In the USA this would save 18 billon litres of petrol/year
Key SIMLab partners: Sintef Materials and Chemistry, Audi AG, Hydro Aluminium, Renault, SSAB Swedish Steel, Statoil, the Norwegian Public Roads Adm. (NPRA), the Norwegian Defence Estates Agency (NDEA).
At present: 40 million people injured and 1.2 million killed globally on the roads each year.
