This unique material is at the heart of every product it makes. THE SOLUTION The team at Rolatube had a few non-negotiable performance requirements when considering composite material options for the tripod legs. The tripod designers consulted with the advanced composite product experts at Avient, and trialed several formulations of Polystrand™ continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites.

Once the calibration procedure was complete, Avient applied this Digimat material model to various structural models. Results & benefits Avient has applied the Digimat material model to two different load cases, a flexural test and a tensile test. Avient and Hexagon used Digimat to develop anisotropic long fibre material data for a molded connector rod.

COMPOSITE BRACE SAVES WEIGHT, IMPROVES STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY © 2020, All Rights Reserved Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012 To learn more, contact Avient at +1.844.4AVIENT (1.844.428.4368) THE CHALLENGE A major US automotive OEM makes extensive use of lightweight composites materials. The composite material used to make this part includes a custom-formulated thermoset epoxy resin, which also has good corrosion and chemical resistance. The Avient composite cradle brace became a lighter- weight performance upgrade for the stock aluminum cradle brace.
