By this technique, the change in weight is explicitly related to the corresponding changes in structural characteristics, when a specific mild steel structural component &quot; replaced&quot; by one differing only in material and gage. The structural characteristics for particular components are systematically related to representative structural design criteria and design constraints for a production vehicle.

By means of this simplified method, material trade-offs cab be directly evaluated by engineers and designers early in the design stage. Examples are given for aluminum and high-strength steel as candidate substitutes for mild steel.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">31.0.
