Description and Table of Contents
Description
This book provides readers with a solid understanding of the principles of automobile body structural design, illustrating the effect of changing design parameters on the behavior of automobile body structural elements.
Emphasizing simple models of the behavior of body structural systems rather than complex mathematical models, the book looks at the best way to shape a structural element to achieve a desired function, why structures behave in certain ways, and how to improve performance.
Chapters cover:
Body structural requirements
Body structural elements
Design for body bending
Design for body torsion
Design for crashworthiness
Design for vibration
Design for vehicle and styling integration
Material selection and mass estimation in preliminary design
Fundamentals of Automobile Body Design provides valuable insight to graduate and undergraduate students in automotive programs, entry-level engineers specializing in automobile body design, and other engineers looking to understand the influence of vehicle layout on body performance or the interaction of subsystems with the body.
