The purpose of the study was the development of a computerized mathematical optimization tool to be used in the determination of weight and cost tradeoffs through materials substitution in the design of passenger cars and light trucks. The model determines the minimum cost materials mix for specified weight constraints as well as the relative proportion of each material use in the vehicle as a function of desired percentage weight reduction.
