Lightweight Innovative Flexible Technology (LIFT)

Lift(轻量级创新柔性技术)是一个令人兴奋的为期一年的可行性项目，它将研究一种全新的、高度颠覆性的轻量化汽车悬架系统概念。项目合作伙伴将使用最新的材料和结构，在一个显著简化的系统中将必要的弹性和减震性能与耐用性和车轮控制相结合。消除离散悬挂部件和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。项目合作伙伴SImpact、Ariel和华威大学将采用先进的CAE建模方法，结合基准车辆的真实道路和轨道数据，提供快速、有效的设计迭代的能力。在项目完成后，展示可行性的虚拟样机将被进展为物理样机，用于道路测试。

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.
