Battery enclosures not only provide protection to the battery cells, but they also have the potential to contribute to the rigidity and performance of the entire vehicle. Therefore, the battery’s role as a structural component is gaining increasing attention in the auto and composites industries. In turn, manufacturers are looking for suitable designs and material solutions.
This presentation assesses the latest research on battery enclosure requirements and identifies the challenges and benefits of adopting multimaterial designs. New concepts that employ a high degree of hybridization and structural integration through composite materials are also investigated in areas where they provide the highest benefits.
