OSTI ID:5488200
In this paper a vehicle build and evaluation program to demonstrate the feasibility of Alcan's Aluminum Structured Vehicle Technology (ASVT) is described. Modes and frequencies of vibration, interior noise characteristics and 30 mph barrier test results for vehicles with aluminum and steel bodies are compared. High load input, 1000 mile pave and accelerated corrosion tests have proved the vehicles' durability.
