Book: Fundamentals of Automotive Structyre and Battery Electric Vehicle Applications
This book's content includes an overview of automotive structure fundamentals, an in-depth coverage of the physics behind the loadcases that define the structure, typical solution elements for those loadcases, and how the Battery Electric Vehicle configuration can affect structural strategies.
The book is appropriate for both engineers just entering the world of automotive structures and those already immersed in its design & performance development.
Corrections of known errors:
1) ​Page 2: Although it is represented correctly in Figure-1.1, the text defines rotation incorrectly. The text should read: Pitch, Roll, and Yaw describe rotation about the Y, X, and Z axis respectively.
2) 4.3.5 Small Overlap Frontal should have been a sub-chapter itself. (inconsequential error)
