Modularisation of car body structures
ATZ worldwide, 2006This article presents a concept for modularization of car body structures which was developed as a joint project between TU Braunschweig and Volkswagen Group Research, Germany. The idea behind this concept is to form a wide variety of car derivatives using only a few standardized elements.

Designing a new car body shape by PCA of existing car database
ACM SIGGRAPH 2007 posters, 2007We have developed a tool to design car body shapes. It enables any user even with no experience and skill to design car body shapes interactively and easily. We report how we synthesize car body shapes by following process. Firstly, we create a database of existing cars and analyze all shapes in the database using Principal Component Analysis (PCA ...

Interactive examination of surface quality on car bodies
Computer-Aided Design, 2004Abstract The use of reflection lines and specular high lights for the quality control of car body surfaces is an important issue in the development process of a car. The interactive examination is based on standard graphics tools such as the SceneViewer of OpenInventor which simulates reflection lines by using striped environment maps.

Oxide Inclusions in Steel Welds of Car Body
Materials Science Forum, 2010The goal of this research is to choose the proper method of car body welding. Properties of weld metal deposits depend on many conditions. First of all, this paper attempts to study the role of oxide inclusion sites on the transformation of austenite to acicular ferrite in steel weld metal deposits and their toughness.

The Emergence of T-Bodies/CAR T Cells
The Cancer Journal, 2014The nickname "T-body" is used to denote a T cell expressing an antigen-specific or antibody-based chimeric receptor that combines antibody specificity with T-cell effector or regulatory function. Initially, we designed and constructed chimeric antibody-based receptors and expressed them in T cells to study the role of major histocompatibility complex ...

Composites, 1969
Three pounds of carbon fibre incorporated into a glass-fibre reinforced racing car body can mean the difference between winning or losing a race. The GT40 carbon-fibre reinforced Ford won the 1968 Le Mans endurance race and surviving the year won its first race in 1969 and a second Le Mans.

Multidisciplinary optimization of car bodies
Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization, 2007Rising complexity of industrial development in the automotive industry is leading to a higher degree of interdisciplinarity, which is especially true in the virtual design area. New methods and solution procedures have to be evaluated and integrated in the overall process.

Evaluation of Vehicle Body Stiffness and Strength for Car to Car Compatibility
SAE Technical Paper Series, 2001<div class="htmlview paragraph">When considering a CTC (car to car) frontal crash between a small light car and a large heavy car, it is necessary to evaluate the stiffness and strength of each vehicle body. As interactive force at the contact surface cannot be measured directly in a car to car crash test, a simplified practical method has been ...

Mode Analysis on the Car Body of Special Gondola Car for Coal
Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2012The theoretical principle of mode analysis was introduced. The finite element models of the empty and loaded car body of special gondola car were built, and then the mode analysis and verification of the two models were studied. The results show that the two finite element models of empty and loaded car body of special gondola car are accurate and ...
