TY - JOUR PY - 1986// TI - Design rules for structural safety of passenger-car bodies JO - International journal of vehicle design A1 - Goetz, H A1 - Schwede, W A1 - Mueller, Mario SP - 95 EP - 112 VL - 7 IS - 5-6 N2 - Body-shell design for passenger cars must, from the point of view of safety, take into consideration safety in accidents, stress-relieving safety and operational reliability. With the new Mercedes-Benz 190 as an example, it is shown how a satisfactory solution can be found to satisfy conflicting aims by means of innovative design measures and other details, as well as by using high-strength steel. Safety and light-weight construction can then be quite feasibly combined.
