Abstract

A method to express the concept of load transfer and the course of the transferred load in the structure is introduced. Transferred load in an actual passenger car body is investigated experimentally. The degree of joint stiffness between the members of the vehicle body can also be discussed based on this concept. Difference can be shown between the course from the front suspension and that from the rear suspension under the condition of the torsional loading.
