Notes

What are considered light trucks?
The emphasis of subjects of the lesson “Structural Design of Vehicles” forms the conception of body, superstructures including the connection points for the units.

First the varying design methods resulting from the different transportation functions of motor vehicles are described. Different manufacturing processes with various structure concepts and materials are discussed along with the economy of the automobile body functioning by lowering the weight due to lightweight construction measures and the utilization of new materials. The construction and the design procedures are particularly regarded.

A further emphasis discusses the “passive safety” of motor vehicles. Analyses on accidents and the biomechanical load limits of the human body form the cornerstone with this paragraph. Subsequently, crashtests are introduced, with whose assistance the adherence to the legally determined biomechanical limit values under different accident configurations could be checked. Their results show their direct influence on the construction of the body and the layout of seats, restraint systems and the vehicle interior. The possibilities of computer simulations for the improvement of passive safety in the development and construction of passenger cars, busses and trucks in addition to the crash measuring equipment required for testing vehicles or structures form an additional emphasis of this lecture.

Påbyggare lätta lastbilar for omnibuses and motor buses of the standard kind mainly exhibit a structural frame which can be flush having its outer contour, onto which outer cladding elements such as aprons and blinds and the glazing of the window areas are mounted. In today's description, by “outer side” is supposed lying or arranged towards the outside of the superstructure and by “inner side” is supposed lying or arranged towards the inner side of the superstructure.

The above mentioned longitudinal and vertical sections in the side-wall structure are structural components of the automobile superstructure. They contribute significantly to the rigidity and strength of the superstructure. The requirements manufactured from the mechanical properties of the connecting places or joints involving the longitudinal and vertical sections are, therefore, also accordingly high.
