Obiettivo
Previous studies have shown the potential benefits of using high strength steels and continuous joining processes to achieve reduced weight and emissions in the automotive industry. Since the various elements of the vehicle have to satisfy different primary performance requirements, e.g. impact, fatigue, torsion, it is essential to establish the optimum steel strength/joining process designs. This research project will determine the most effective means of transmitting forces across structural elements from test data which will be incorporated into a FE model of both monocoque and space frame designs.
