Motor Vehicle Structures: Concepts and Fundamentals - Softcover

This textbook for practicing engineers deals with the structural mechanics of the mass-produced integral passenger car body. The volume begins with a description of the simple structural surface method for modeling vehicle structure and understanding load paths. This is then used as a basis for an in-depth discussion of the conceptual design of car structures, using case studies related to real-life design problems.
