Announcement of publication of the November 2024 issue of Journal of Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan
Publication information
<Special feature> The latest body structure and the DX that supports it
The special theme of this issue is "car body". Nowadays, DX (digital transformation) has become the norm, and even automobile bodies, which at first glance may seem unchanged, are evolving.
In this issue, we aim to deepen understanding of the latest technology related to bodies, focusing on "design and development methods" that make full use of DX, and "safety structure", which is highly important among the various performance requirements for bodies. I did. We receive contributions of the latest technology not only for automobiles, but also for ships and aircraft hulls and airframes. Please take a look.
The Journal of Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan is published in electronic format. Please read it on your PC, tablet, or smartphone.
