Design and analysis of lightweight polyetheretherketone (PEEK) front lower control arm

Forged Aluminum is regarded as the optimum process for producing light weight front lower control arm (FLCA) with assured internal qualities and high reliabilities since aluminum forging provides the highest weight reduction effect, as much as 35 to 40% reduction compared to cast iron. However due t...
