Full Description

This book covers three topics; 1) automotive structure foundational information, 2) the physics of important loading conditions & how they influence the structure's design, and 3) how the physics & design implications are different for the Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) configuration. Currently, the automotive industry is desperately trying to develop cost competitive BEVs, with mixed success. The underlying engineering principles that enable efficient BEV structure are not well known within the industry and this book will provide that critical information to those seasoned automotive engineers. In many companies, a large portion of those seasoned engineers are nearing retirement and a new generation will be entering the workforce. Many companies are looking for ways to avoid the resulting knowledge loss and this book also addresses that; providing the information needed to quickly bring new engineers up to speed.
