Featured Animation - New Alloys and Safer Cars

Understanding how automobiles age
Mississippi State University’s Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems (CAVS) is an interdisciplinary research and development facility that provides the automotive industry with engineering, design, and manufacturing innovations. Among its goals, it seeks to provide the auto industry with research and technology that will improve automotive performance, lower production costs, and shorten production times. In keeping with these goals, the center is studying automotive materials and creating multi-scale crash simulations to give engineers a new edge in designing better vehicles.
