Abstract: A method of integrally forming a composite rib structure includes positioning a first fiber sheet on a pre-preg mold, the pre-preg mold including a first channel and a second channel separated by a wedge-shaped protrusion, and the fiber sheet including a plurality of fibers oriented along a first common direction. The method further including extending the wedge-shaped protrusion through the first fiber sheet such that a subset of the plurality of fibers are displaced about the protrusion and into each of the respective first channel and second channel; applying a resin within each of respective first channel and second channel to the plurality of fibers; pre-curing the resin to form a pre-preg rib structure within the channels; and removing the pre-preg rib structure from the pre-preg mold.

Abstract: A system and method to control a cellular device in a vehicle includes determining whether the cellular device is associated with a driver of the vehicle based on a location of the cellular device or an identity of the cellular device. The method also includes signaling the cellular device to inhibit functionality of the cellular device based on determining that the cellular device is associated with the driver of the vehicle. The inhibiting functionality includes disabling one or more functions of the cellular device.

Abstract: A vehicle structural member, such as a rocker panel, including a micro-truss core. The structural member includes specially configured and opposing outer panels that are welded together to define a channel therein, where the micro-truss core is placed in one of the panels or is fabricated to one of the panels during the micro-truss fabrication process before the panels are secured together. The micro-truss core can include separate individual sections, where each section has a tailored stiffness for that location in the member, or the micro-truss core can be a continuous core, where different sections along the length of the core are fabricated with different stiffnesses.

Abstract: A method of isolating a metallic fastener from a carbon-fiber composite panel includes inserting the metallic fastener within an electrically isolating annular collar; inserting the metallic fastener and electrically isolating annular collar within a hole defined by the carbon-fiber composite panel; and securing the metallic fastener to the carbon-fiber composite panel. The annular collar may be circumferentially disposed about the metallic fastener such that the annular collar separates and electrically isolates the entire metallic fastener from the carbon-fiber composite panel. As such, the annular collar may minimize the galvanic reaction between the fastener and the carbon-fiber composite panel.
