Structural reinforcement insert geometry: SikaRecent Research Landscape

Vehicle frame instability and crash energy mismanagement lead to structural failure under load. These innovations utilize specialized end cap configurations to secure reinforcing members and ensure predictable energy dissipation.

What technical problems is Sika addressing in Structural reinforcement insert geometry?

Structural cavity collapse

(9)evidences

Hollow structural components in vehicles are prone to buckling and deformation under load. Preventing structural failure ensures passenger safety and vehicle integrity during impact.

Insufficient structural joint integrity

(3)evidences

Mechanical failure and stress concentration at the interfaces of large frame components. Mitigating these weaknesses prevents catastrophic structural collapse and improves vehicle crashworthiness.
