TAnalytical models are developed for static and dynamic analysis of thin-walled frames representing the automotive side structures. The model is based on one-dimensional beam theory that considers joint flexibility to compute stiffness and frequency response of the whole frame structure. The computed out-of-plane displacements under static and impact loading are in good agreement with those obtained from the shell finite element method. Using the validated analytical model, the influence of joint flexibility on the elastic response of the side structure is studied.
