The objective was to achieve a lighter component than the corresponding reference configuration, yet fulfilling mechanical requirements related to stiffness and strength. In fact, the new C-pillar should be at least stiffer and stronger than the reference component. In addition, the final price of the new C-pillar should be in the same range as the price of the initial component, which made it impossible to apply expensive materials such as carbon fiber composite materials. 000127880 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000127880 590__ $$a5.497$$b2020 000127880 591__ $$aENGINEERING, MECHANICAL$$b11 / 133 = 0.083$$c2020$$dQ1$$eT1 000127880 591__ $$aMATERIALS SCIENCE, CHARACTERIZATION & TESTING$$b2 / 32 = 0.062$$c2020$$dQ1$$eT1 000127880 591__ $$aMATERIALS SCIENCE, COMPOSITES$$b8 / 28 = 0.286$$c2020$$dQ2$$eT1 000127880 592__ $$a0.913$$b2020 000127880 593__ $$aCeramics and Composites$$c2020$$dQ1 000127880 593__ $$aMechanics of Materials$$c2020$$dQ1 000127880 593__ $$aMechanical Engineering$$c2020$$dQ1 000127880 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000127880 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-9007-1560$$aCastejón Herrer, Luis$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000127880 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-6100-7412$$aCuartero Salafranca, Jesús$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000127880 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-0341-8408$$aMalón Litago, Hugo$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000127880 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-8451-660X$$aRanz Angulo, David$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000127880 700__ $$aIlijevic, Stefan 000127880 700__ $$aAgustin, Xavier 000127880 7102_ $$15004$$2530$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
