It provides a clear and concise explanation of load paths in the vehicle body-in-white (BIW), based on engineering first principles. This is then used as a basis for an in-depth discussion of the conceptual design of car structures, using case studies directly related to real-life design problems. The book is based on a short course designed for industry which has been well received and is used to train body engineers worldwide. The authors have extensive experience of analysis and design of vehicle structures in the automobile industry, and of teaching the subject both in-company and academia. Focuses on the conceptual rather than the quantitative aspect of design Provides several practical examples and applications 533 $aElectronic reproduction.$bAmsterdam :$cElsevier Science & Technology,$d2007.$nMode of access: World Wide Web.$nSystem requirements: Web browser.$nTitle from title screen (viewed on July 25, 2007).$nAccess may be restricted to users at subscribing institutions 650 0$aMotor vehicles$xBodies$xDesign and construction 650 0$aAutomobiles$xBodies$xDesign and construction 650 0$aMotor vehicles$xBodies$xTesting 655 7$aElectronic books.$2local 700 1 $aRobertson, A.
