Abstract

Regulations to reduce carbon emission from vehicles become main attention in automobiles industries and this has led to substantial development of electric vehicle (EV). One of the challenge in EV is the power consumption resulted by the body mass. Body structure for EV is not only needs to be strong, but also lightweight to ensure optimum energy usage for the EV. Hence, this study aims to create a strong but light weight material for EV body structure by examining optimum configuration of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminate. 5 stacking sequences of CFRP laminate were designed to sustain compression load and 23 factorial design was employed to find the relation for fiber orientation and shape of profile structure. The study revealed fiber orientation and shape of structure is the significant factor in compression performance while in bending load condition, only angle of orientation is the significant factor.
