Audi A3 SSP 182 The Engineering

This document provides a 3-page summary of the Audi A3 SSP 182 engineering manual. It discusses the following key points: 1) Programmed crumple zones are designed to deform in a predefined manner during a collision to absorb impact energy and help maintain the integrity of the occupant cell. The front side members consist of multiple welded panels of varying thickness calculated to crumple in a concertina-like fashion. 2) Safety features include side airbags, seats designed with high transverse rigidity for side impacts, and flush fitting between pillars and sills for structural integrity. 3) The document provides an overview of the technical details that will be explained, covering areas like engines, gear

Body

Safety is ... In other words:


When the car is designed, every effort is made
programmed crumple zones to minimise deceleration forces acting on the
occupants. To achieve this aim, the body must
be deformable, because this enables it to
absorb energy.

SSP 182/7

To ensure the occupant cell remains intact


during a collision, the entire front section of
the car is designed to deform in a predefined
manner.

The specific deformation behaviour of the car’s


front section is mainly determined by the body
side members.

Full extension side members


Side member
The front side members each consist of three
mash seam welded panels with thicknesses of
2 mm, 3 mm and 1.5 mm.
The different material thicknesses are calcula-
ted depending on the strength they require
and their location. Subsection 1

Subsection 2

Subsection 3

SSP 182/8

Crumpling principle of the side members


Subsection of side member

The side members fold up when compressed


and therefore absorb a maximum of impact
energy. We refer to this as the concentina
principle. Cover plate
