Lightweight Innovative Flexible Technology (LIFT)

LIFT（轻型创新柔性技术）是一个令人兴奋的为期一年的可行性项目，将研究全新的、高度颠覆性的轻型汽车悬架系统概念。项目合作伙伴将利用最新的材料和结构，将必要的弹性和阻尼性能与耐久性和车轮控制在一个大大简化的系统中结合起来。消除离散悬架组件并开发集成系统将提供卓越的性能，并提供相当大的重量和成本节约。该项目的合作伙伴，包括impact、Ariel和华威大学，将采用先进的CAE建模方法，并结合基线车辆的真实道路和轨道数据的相关性，提供快速、经过验证的设计迭代的能力。在项目完成后，展示可行性的虚拟原型将发展成用于道路测试的物理原型。

LIFT (Lightweight Innovative Flexible Technology) is an exciting one year feasibility project that will investigate acompletely new and highly disruptive lightweight automotive suspension system concept. The project partnerswill make use of the latest materials and structures to combine the necessary elasticity and damping propertieswith durability and wheel control within a significantly simplified system. Eliminating discrete suspensioncomponents and developing an integrated system will provide superior performance and deliver considerableweight and cost savings.The project partners, Simpact, Ariel and University of Warwick, will adopt an advanced CAE modellingapproach, coupled with correlation against real-world road and track data for a baseline vehicle, providing theability to deliver rapid, validated design iterations. On completion of the project the virtual prototypedemonstrating the feasibility will be progressed into a physical prototype for road testing.
