- THIS paper deals with the general application of stress analysis to automobile body design. It attempts to give a picture of the overall approach and application of stress analysis to the automobile body.The body structure is described from a stress engineer's viewpoint. Various design loads are given, followed by a discussion on how the overall structure sustains these loads. Detailed analysis of various body components is considered.A general outline of proof testing the final body is given. This discussion describes the various tests and gives the purpose behind the running of each test.
