    Abstract: An extruded rail assembly including a first multi-channel extrusion having at least two tubular channels connected by a center rib, and having a joining end configured for joining at a predetermined angle to a joining end of a second multi-channel extrusion. The second multi-channel extrusion includes at least two tubular channels connected by a center rib, and having a joining end configured for joining at the predetermined angle to the joining end of first multi-channel extrusion. The joining ends of the first and second multi-channel extrusions are configured such that the center ribs complementarily engage as a joining surface.

    Abstract: A side impact load management system for a vehicle having a vehicle frame includes a plurality of cross-vehicle support members extending from a first side of the vehicle to a second side of the vehicle. A first structural member extends in a first vertical plane parallel to a vehicle body axis defined by the vehicle frame and coupled to the vehicle frame, the first structural member connecting the plurality of cross-vehicle support members on the first side of the vehicle. A second structural member extends in a second vertical plane parallel to the vehicle body axis defined by the vehicle frame and coupled to the vehicle frame, the second structural member connecting the plurality of cross-vehicle support members on the second side of the vehicle. The first and second structural members are configured to transfer a side impact load simultaneously to the plurality of cross-vehicle support members.

    Abstract: A load impact management system for a vehicle includes a plurality of cross-vehicle support members extending from a first side of the vehicle to a second side of the vehicle opposite the first side of the vehicle, a shock tower spaced apart from the plurality of cross-vehicle support members and fixed to the vehicle frame rail, a first structural member extending along a first plane, a second structural member extending along a second plane separate from the first plane, and a third structural member extending along a third plane separate from the first and second planes. The first structural member defines a first load path between the center tunnel and the shock tower, the second structural member defines a second load path between the center tunnel and the shock tower, and the third structural member defines a third load path between the center tunnel and the vehicle frame rail.

    Abstract: An interlocking body and floor pan assembly for a below-floor energy stored vehicle includes a vehicle structural assembly having a front compartment section connected to a rear compartment section using first and second rocker members. The front compartment section includes a compartment front cross-beam and the rear compartment section includes a compartment rear cross-beam oriented parallel to the compartment front cross-beam. The vehicle structural assembly defines a bucket configuration having faces of the compartment front cross-beam and the compartment rear cross-beam angularly oriented from an upper outboard edge downwardly pitching to a lower inboard edge. A prefabricated sub-floor assembly seats on flange structure and is positioned with a clearance to the bucket configuration of the vehicle structural assembly. An outer perimeter of the sub-floor assembly is larger than an inner perimeter of the vehicle structural assembly where the sub-floor assembly contacts the vehicle structural assembly.

    Abstract: A bulkhead for a vehicle body structure includes a panel. The panel has a contour defined by a contour length and characterized by an open section having three surfaces in a cross-sectional view. The bulkhead also includes a support member embedded in the panel. The support member includes an external form configured to interface with and match at least two of the three surfaces of the contour. The support member also includes a support member length configured to fit within the contour length and a boxed cross-section having a substantially uniform shape along the support member length. The bulkhead additionally includes an adhesive applied between the external form of the support member and the interfacing surfaces of the contour to thereby bond the support member to the panel and reinforce the bulkhead. A vehicle having a structure with such a bulkhead is also considered.
