A structural reinforcement device for insertion into a cavity of a structure and method for making the same including a first reinforcement section that has at least one projection of a first expandable polymeric material secured to it; and a separate second reinforcement section mated with the first reinforcement section, the second reinforcement section being configured to include at least one cavity, into which the at least one projection penetrates upon mating, and at least one aperture defined therein through which the expandable material flows during expansion and where it will remain upon curing of the material, thereby causing the first reinforcement section to be coupled with the second reinforcement section.

A chassis platform module for an electric vehicle may include: a frame part having a battery mounted thereon; a first support part extended from one side of the frame part in a longitudinal direction, and having a front wheel chassis module mounted thereon; and a second support part extended from the other side of the frame part in the longitudinal direction, and having a rear wheel chassis module mounted thereon.

A vehicle body combination structure includes a center floor panel extending from a lower portion of a vehicle body along a longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, and a rear floor panel disposed at a rear of the vehicle body and connected to the center floor panel, wherein one end surface of the center floor panel and one end surface of the rear floor panel are vertically overlapped to form an overlap region, and wherein the rear floor panel and the center floor panel form a wheel base of the vehicle body.

One aspect is an apparatus including a plurality of additively manufactured components each having an adhesive injection channel. The components are connected together such that adhesive injection channels are aligned to form an adhesive path that allows adhesive flow between the components. Another aspect is an apparatus, including an additively manufactured component having an adhesive injection channel and an adhesive flow mechanism comprising at least one of an adhesive side end effector or a vacuum side end effector, the adhesive flow mechanism configured to provide adhesive to the adhesive injection channels.

The present invention relates to a system consisting of a connection node and at least one first connection body, wherein: the connection node comprises a connection node central body, a first connection element for joining with the connection body, and at least one second connection element for joining with a second connection body; the first connection element and the second connection element are connected or may be connected to the connection node central body; and at least one portion of the connection node central body and/or of the first connection element and/or of the second connection element is manufactured by means of an additive process, for example 3D printing, or by means of a casting process.

A support frame assembly configured to strengthen an upper frame portion of a frame of a vehicle, comprising a first frame member having a first end and a second end, and a second frame member having a first end and a second end, wherein both the first ends of the first and second frame members are configured to couple to a front half of the frame and the second ends of the first and second frame members are configured to couple to the front half of the frame to strengthen the upper frame portion, at least one of the first and second ends of each of the first and second frame members including at least one mechanically coupled joint configured for coupling each of the first and second frame members to the front half of the frame.

A vehicle body structure includes: a front pillar; a front side member located in front of the front pillar and extending in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle; a side sill connected to a bottom end of the front pillar; and a rear lower member connecting the front side member, the side sill, and the front pillar, where the rear lower member includes a front connection portion connected to a rear portion of the front side member, and a rear connection portion connected to a lower portion of the front pillar and a front portion of the side sill, and the rear connection portion includes an upper engagement wall joined to the front pillar, and a lower engagement wall joined to the side sill.

A side sill assembly of the vehicle includes a side sill inner, a side sill outer, and a reinforcement unit provided between the side sill inner and the side sill outer, wherein the reinforcement unit may include a plurality of cell members having an upper member and a lower member bonded to each other vertically at intervals therebetween, and disposed in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle at intervals from each other therebetween; and a connector bonded to rear and front end portions of different cell members among the plurality of cell members to connect the plurality of cell members to each other in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

An objective of the present invention is to provide a front pillar outer that has high strength and high rigidity. In an area in which the first door-side flange part and a second door-side flange part overlap with each other, the first door-side flange part and the second door-side flange part are joined to each other. In an area in which the first glass-face-side flange part and the second glass-face-side flange part overlap with each other, the first glass-face-side flange part and the second glass-face-side flange part are joined to each other.

The disclosure provides a vehicle body rear part structure. The vehicle body rear part structure includes a load support part on a quarter pillar. The load support part includes a side sill stiffener, a quarter pillar stiffener and a damper stiffener. The side sill stiffener reinforces a side sill and forms a part of the quarter pillar. The quarter pillar stiffener is provided continuously with the side sill stiffener and reinforces the quarter pillar. The damper stiffener is provided above a rear wheel house and joined to the quarter pillar stiffener and a roof side rail.
