Lotus Engineering prepared this document in collaboration with a number of automotive and regulatory experts and submitted it to the ICCT. The 2009 Toyota Venza was selected […]]]> https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4959/an-assessment-of-mass-reduction-opportunities-for-a-2017/feed/ 0 Winning by design: the methods of Gordon Murray https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4880/winning-by-design-the-methods-of-gordon-murray/ https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4880/winning-by-design-the-methods-of-gordon-murray/#respond Wed, 04 Mar 2009 10:00:00 +0000 http://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/winning-by-design-the-methods-of-gordon-murray/ This is a case study of the working methods of one particularly successful designer in a highly competitive design domain, Formula One racing car design. Gordon Murray was chief designer for the very successful Brabham and McLaren racing car teams in the 1970s and 1980s. His record of success is characterized by innovative breakthroughs, often […]]]> https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4880/winning-by-design-the-methods-of-gordon-murray/feed/ 0 Technological further developments to realise steel space frame concepts https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4740/technological-further-developments-to-realise-steel-space/ https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4740/technological-further-developments-to-realise-steel-space/#respond Mon, 21 Mar 2005 22:00:00 +0000 http://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/technological-further-developments-to-realise-steel-space/ ]]> https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4740/technological-further-developments-to-realise-steel-space/feed/ 0 Dent Resistance of Automotive Panelling https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4728/dent-resistance-of-automotive-panelling/ https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4728/dent-resistance-of-automotive-panelling/#respond Thu, 10 Mar 2005 20:00:00 +0000 http://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/dent-resistance-of-automotive-panelling/ https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4728/dent-resistance-of-automotive-panelling/feed/ 0 Design-Oriented Translators for Automotive Joints https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4718/design-oriented-translators-for-automotive-joints/ https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4718/design-oriented-translators-for-automotive-joints/#respond Sat, 05 Mar 2005 21:00:00 +0000 http://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/design-oriented-translators-for-automotive-joints/ ]]> https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4718/design-oriented-translators-for-automotive-joints/feed/ 0 Advanced Technologies for Design and Fabrication of Composite Automotive Components https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4717/advanced-technologies-for-design-and-fabrication-of/ https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4717/advanced-technologies-for-design-and-fabrication-of/#respond Sat, 05 Mar 2005 09:00:00 +0000 http://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/advanced-technologies-for-design-and-fabrication-of/ ]]> https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4717/advanced-technologies-for-design-and-fabrication-of/feed/ 0 Progettazione di telai automobilistici “Space Frame” in lega leggera con particolare riguardo a soluzioni di tipo modulare https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4617/progettazione-di-telai-automobilistici-space-frame-in-lega/ https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4617/progettazione-di-telai-automobilistici-space-frame-in-lega/#respond Mon, 07 Feb 2005 22:00:00 +0000 http://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/progettazione-di-telai-automobilistici-space-frame-in-lega/ https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4617/progettazione-di-telai-automobilistici-space-frame-in-lega/feed/ 0 Robust optimization of an automobile rearview mirror for vibration reduction https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4422/robust-optimization-of-an-automobile-rearview-mirror-for/ https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4422/robust-optimization-of-an-automobile-rearview-mirror-for/#respond Mon, 07 Feb 2005 21:00:00 +0000 http://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/robust-optimization-of-an-automobile-rearview-mirror-for/ https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4422/robust-optimization-of-an-automobile-rearview-mirror-for/feed/ 0 Automotive door design with the ULSAB concept using structural optimization https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4420/automotive-door-design-with-the-ulsab-concept-using/ https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4420/automotive-door-design-with-the-ulsab-concept-using/#respond Mon, 07 Feb 2005 21:00:00 +0000 http://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/automotive-door-design-with-the-ulsab-concept-using/ https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4420/automotive-door-design-with-the-ulsab-concept-using/feed/ 0 Static-vibrational design of a bonnet with frame topological optimization https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4223/static-vibrational-design-of-a-bonnet-with-frame/ https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4223/static-vibrational-design-of-a-bonnet-with-frame/#respond Mon, 07 Feb 2005 21:00:00 +0000 http://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/static-vibrational-design-of-a-bonnet-with-frame/ https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4223/static-vibrational-design-of-a-bonnet-with-frame/feed/ 0
