In the cases of the TrailBlazer and Grand Cherokee, the vehicles' structures allowed too much intrusion by the crash barrier into the seating area.
This work investigates efficient ways of lightweighting vehicles structures based on Graphene-related materials (GRMs).
A computational procedure for the analysis and design of commercial vehicles structures is the main objective of this work.
The typical components of a liquid-rocket propulsion system are the engine, fuel tanks, and vehicle structure with which to hold these parts in place and connect to payload and launch pad (or vehicle).
In a head-on impact, the fenders, hood and suspension all fold up, helping to disperse the forces; the flanks of a vehicle offer far less vehicle structure -- only the thickness of a door -- to absorb the energy of a crash.
This structure was then also optimised for advantageous crash behaviour in the overall vehicle structure.
The analyzed system consists of an automotive vehicle structure coupled with its internal acoustic cavity.
This process is illustrated on a vehicle structure to study different concepts of weight reduction.
(2) The vehicle structure was symmetrical, and the left and right rails on the curved track were arranged symmetrically.
A brief overview of a "normal" design cycle of a "typical" vehicle structure from a holistic viewpoint will be given.
