Abstract: A rocker component for a vehicle includes a reinforcement beam having a metal sheet that is shaped with a plurality of elongated bends extending in parallel along a length of the reinforcement beam that together form a cross-sectional shape extending continuously along the length of the reinforcement beam. The cross-sectional shape of reinforcement beam includes a beam portion and a flange portion integrally extending from the beam portion. The beam portion has a multi-hollow shape that encloses a plurality of hollow cavities that extend longitudinally between openings at opposing ends of the reinforcement beam. The flange portion integrally extends from the beam portion and includes an edge of the metal sheet. The flange portion is configured to attach to the vehicle for supporting the rocker component along an outboard side region of the vehicle.

Abstract: A beam article for a vehicle includes a plurality of separate elongated metal sheets attached together to form generally planar walls of an elongated tubular structure. At least one of the plurality of separate elongated metal sheets has a shear wall that is disposed along a hollow interior of the elongated tubular structure and is attached at opposing walls of the elongated tubular structure. At least one of the plurality of separate elongated metal sheets comprises an edge that abuts a side surface of an adjacent one of the plurality of separate elongated metal sheets to define a non-radiused perpendicular weld corner along the elongated tubular structure.

Abstract: A multi-sheet beam includes sheets pre-shaped and/or pre-formed to have integral features and to cause a final beam shape with non-radiused corners and optimal impact properties when assembled, including beams with constant or varied cross sectional shapes. The non-radiused corners offer excellent impact strength over radiused corners. The sheets are selected to have desired (different) thicknesses and material properties for optimal impact results and low beam weight. To assemble, the sheets are fixtured together and welded to form box beam, such as a two-tube monoleg beam, preferably using welding processes having low heat-affected-zones around the weld. The multiple sheets can include grades of aluminum with high tensile strength well above extrudable grades of aluminum. Alternatively, the multiple sheets can be any grade of steel, such as high strength and ultra high strength steels. The fixturing and assembly technique minimizes capital expense on extruding machines and/or roll forming machines.
Abstract translation: 多片梁包括预成形和/或预成形为具有整体特征的片材，并且在组装时产生具有非圆角和最佳冲击性能的最终梁形，包括具有恒定或变化的横截面形状的梁。 非圆角的角落提供优异的冲击强度。 选择这些片材以具有期望的（不同的）厚度和材料性质以获得最佳的冲击结果和较低的束重量。 为了组装，片材被固定在一起并被焊接以形成箱梁，例如双管单杆梁，优选地使用在焊缝周围具有低热影响区域的焊接工艺。 多个片材可以包括具有高拉伸强度的铝等级，远高于可挤出等级的铝。 或者，多个片材可以是任何等级的钢，例如高强度和超高强度钢。 固定和装配技术最大限度地减少了挤出机和/或辊轧机的资本费用。

Abstract: A vehicle rocker assembly includes a sill outer and a sill inner that together define an elongated hollow interior. The vehicle rocker assembly also includes a rocker insert disposed within the elongated hollow interior. The rocker insert includes a stiffening member defining a wave-shaped structure and including at least one sheet defining a fore edge, an aft edge, a first side edge and a second side edge opposite the first side edge. Additionally, the fore edge and the aft edge are disposed at different locations along the length of the rocker insert. Moreover, a crest of the wave-shaped structure extends between the first side edge and the second side edge and is configured to carry a load path laterally between the inboard and outboard wall portions.

Abstract: A battery support structure for a vehicle includes a first peripheral member configured to be supported by a longitudinal section of a vehicle frame. A second peripheral member has an end surface that selectively attaches at an inside surface of the first peripheral member to enclose a corner section of a battery containment area. Prior to fixed attachment of the first and second peripheral members, a slip plane is defined between the end surface and the inside surface to adjust the second peripheral member along the first peripheral member to a predefined dimension of the battery containment area.
