Roof Design

ROOF

An automobile roof or car top is the portion of an automobile that sits above the passenger compartment, protecting the vehicle occupants from sun, wind, rain, and other external elements.

Safety point of view vehicle roof plays a very crucial role especially in rollover kind of accidents, vehicle rollover crashes are the cause for several head,neck and spine injuries for this reason stiffness and strength of any vehicle is crucial, in order to achieve this embosses with reinforcements are provided on the surface of the roof.

Data given for designing roof

Task 1: Design of Front Roof rail, Bow roof rail, Centre Roof rail and Rear roof rail

TASK 2: Do Curvature Study of the Roof

Obtaining Values:

Calculation:

Thus the Designed Roof passes the Heat Distortion Test

Task 3: Do Section Modulus Study for all the Master Sections and at 0-Y Region

Task 4: Create Embosses

Giving embosses for increasing the stiffness and also to improve the aesthetics of the vehicle

Final Design:

Conclusion:

Hence the roof, front roof rail, bow roof rails, central roof rail and the rear roof rail is designed by following the master sections.
