What is Neuro-Structural Bodywork?

Car body structure, as the name implies, refers to the structure in a car. According to the load situation, it can be divided into three types: non-bearing, semi-bearing and bearing.

Body structure

According to the load situation, it can be divided into three types: non-bearing, semi-bearing and bearing.

Cars with load-bearing body have no rigid frame, but strengthened the front, side wall, rear, floor and other parts. Assembly components such as the engine, front and rear suspension, and a part of the drive train are assembled in the required position on the body design. Passed to the wheels via suspension. In addition to its inherent load-carrying function, this load-bearing body must also directly withstand various load forces. After decades of development and improvement, the load-bearing body has greatly improved both in terms of safety and stability. It has the advantages of low mass, low height, no suspension device, and easy assembly. Therefore, most cars This body structure is adopted (as shown in the reference picture).

The body and the frame are rigidly connected by screwing, riveting or welding. In this case, in addition to the above-mentioned loads, the car body also helps to strengthen the frame to a certain extent and share part of the load of the frame.
