- Additional information
- This publication is part of a broader project ‘Development of a vibration fatigue failure prediction model for automotive lamps made of polymers’. It addresses a fundamental question of trial error approach used in the design and development of very sophisticated automotive lamps for their structural integrity. This research, along with the other work in the project has resulted in a reliable virtual prototyping approach reducing both cost and design cycle. It can reduce the unnecessary use of plastics. Wipac, the sponsoring company, has accrued competitive advantage through this research.
