Carrier e.g. A-pillar, for cabriolet, has carrier profile formed by components, where tensile side of carrier is stretched more than pressure side during bending load, and parts of tensile side are deformable in elastic manner

摘要

The carrier (10) has a hollow, closed carrier profile formed by components (1-3), where the carrier is designed with high specific strength and low specific rigidity on a tensile side (11) and high strength and high rigidity on a pressure side (12). The tensile side is more stretched than the pressure side during bending load, where parts of the tensile side are elastically deformable. Two of the three components are provided with flanges (1a, 2a) and connected in the region of the flanges. A fourth component is designed as a rib-shaped structure (4).
