High standards

摘要

Reducing body weight by 25 to 30,000 Ib requires creating exactly the right mix of key body design elements. These design elements consist of engineering activity factors, such as the activity of product design, of finite element analysis and production. They also consist of component factors, such as steel and welding consumables used to construct the body and application or usage factors, which are controlled by the product user. With an understanding of the application, the components that bring a high-performance body to fruition are: body sizing, design, finite element analysis, quality steel, correct welding consumables and workmanship. When these six items are brought together properly and wear or other maintenance needs are addressed as they occur, a high-performance body will more than justify its purchase.
