The joint flexibility is an important issue in the conceptual design of car bodies. In the paper, semi-rigid connection is used to represent the compliant behavior of multi-branch flexible joints. The simplified joint model is established based on rigid beams and semi-rigid connection. And we adopt compliance method to solve the parameters of the model. Numerical example proved the accuracy of the...
