A modular composite structure containing multiple individual composite structures attached together. The individual composite structures form sections of a vehicle component. The composite structures are lightweight and made of materials that can function to absorb energy or attenuate vibration or noise. The composite structures contain a core material adhered to a fiber layer and a fiber reinforcement region for improving the strength and stiffness of the modular composite structure. The modular composite structure can include multiple floor pan segments that can be attached to a central composite structure that can be a utility tunnel or housing.

Modular structural composites for automotive applications

A molded composite battery enclosure containing top and bottom composite covers having a formed cross member arranged between the top and bottom covers. The cross member is a formed member having a surface portion secured to a reinforcement section in one of the composite covers. The reinforcement section is a buildup of resin and fibers on or near a surface of one of the covers that provides a rigid joining point for securing internal battery enclosure components and vehicle components to the composite covers of the battery enclosure.

Composite structure having improved joining component for battery enclosure

A modular composite battery enclosure containing multiple individual composite structures attached together. The individual composite structures form covers that enclose an open area for housing a battery system of battery cells and cooling devices. The composite battery enclosures are lightweight and made of materials that can function to absorb energy and insulate the battery housing area. The composite structures contain a core material adhered and sandwiched between fiber layers.
