Abstract
The availability of well-developed computer software for structural computation is very useful for automotive designers to evaluate frame and body structures. To get meaningful results from the computation, however, the data inputs fed to the computer should be accurate. One of the data needed is torsional rigidity of short thin-walled members which are commonly used for frame or body structures.
