  • Publication number: 20090167060
    Abstract: The hood comprises an outer skin and an inner lining made of SMC, the lining extending essentially at a distance from the skin. This structure enables the hood to present satisfactory mechanical behavior in terms of protecting the head of a pedestrian striking the hood: because of the SMC, the hood then deforms essentially elastically without breakage, with predetermined uniform behavior.

  • Publication number: 20080038510
    Abstract: The composite is made of a plastics material and a fabric of reinforcing fibers embedded in the plastics material. The fibers of the fabric and the plastics material are selected in such a manner that when the composite is at rest, the fibers are bonded to the plastics material, while on stress above a certain level being applied to the composite, the fibers separate from the plastics material over a certain length without breaking. The invention also relates to a motor vehicle floor made of such a composite.
