Superstructure Subunits TRIZ Cases
- Roof Ditch Molding With Integrated Formed Ends and Reduced Scrap
Notched roll forming and co-extrusion create roof ditch molding ends without separate end caps, cutting labor, scrap, and assembly steps.
- Vehicle Body Member Welding With Displacement-Relief Sheet Openings
Preformed openings or slots let overlapped sheets shift during press forming, preventing weld deformation and preserving bonding strength.
- Tailored B-Pillar Structure for Dimensional Stability and Crash Strength
Localized soft zones in a hard B-pillar reduce distortion and cooling time while preserving crash performance, sealing, and NVH control.
- Nested Vehicle Pillar Structure for Wider Driver Visibility
A nested pillar inner inside the pillar outer preserves joining space while reducing blind spots, weight, and pillar bulk.
- Steering Support Press-Fit Fixing on Instrument Panel Reinforcement
Internal pressurization plastically deforms the instrument panel reinforcement to lock a steering support in place without bolts, cutting assembly steps.
- Resin-Filled Member Joining Under Pressure for Stronger Bonds
Pressure-filled resin keeps one member elastically deformed during curing, countering shrinkage stress and improving joint strength.
- Resistively Heated Contact Elements for Local Metal Tempering
Resistively heated contact elements anneal small sections of press-hardened metal parts with precise local property control and low tool wear.
- Vehicle Interior Module Assembly Beyond Door Opening Constraints
By installing a modular interior before the body top-hat, larger cabin components fit without door-opening limits, cutting assembly complexity and cost.
- Modular Dashboard Support Crosspiece for Vehicle Vibration Damping
A modular stiffening structure adds damping and rigidity to a dashboard support crosspiece while limiting weight and model-specific changes.
- Cold-Bent Reinforcement Tab for Coated Press-Hardened Steel
Controlling extrados elongation to 10-25% lets coated press-hardened steel tabs bend for attachment without fracture or coating cracks.
- Press-Hardened Metal Sheet With Strength-Thickness Transition Zones
A graded transition zone links thick hard and thinner ductile sheet areas to reduce tears, fractures, and abrupt property jumps.
- Cold-Bent Reinforcement Member Tab Without Coating Cracks
Controlled cold bending forms coated press-hardened steel tabs for secure attachment without fracture, coating cracks, or lost corrosion resistance.
