Ladder Chassis Analysis
Ladder Chassis Analysis
(OP)
For a project I want to learn how to analyse the torsional and longitudinal stiffness and strength of a ladder chassis as used in the AC Cobra in the 1960's.
I want to use a simplified model and techniques as this is akin to a conceptual design study.
Can anyone help or point out any relevant texts?

RE: Ladder Chassis Analysis
So, I concluded that post WW2 hand analysis methods were good enough. In which case you'll probably find Bruhn to be a great help, I did when I started out validating FEA models of cars 30 years ago.

Whether the Cobra was designed to the same standard is another issue entirely.
