Automotive Structural Analysis

Automotive Structural Analysis goes into details on how to repair today's chassis, using the frame-bender, spot welding, MIG and TIG welding, Arc Welding and Oxygen Acetylene welding. A section devoted to heavy equipment chassis repair and robotic welders. Covered are also metal fabrication, tools needed for metal fabricators, and a highly visual detailed (photos) guide is given. Another part of the book shows the details of windshield glass repair. Chassis or frame benders are also covered in details, hydraulic frame pullers, mobile frame pullers, portable frame machines, using attachments, basis chassis bending techniques, squaring using a ruler, and advanced chassis bending techniques. A rear section on chassis straightening is offered. Then some insight is given on sanding, priming and painting in preparation for the other books. This book prepares you for the ASE EXAM.
