How do I make a Banh Chung?
It flexes too easily, and during a roll over, it will crush.

aluminium can be quite strong in the proper shapesit's also lighter than steel which is a big plus for carsthe Tesla Model S has an aluminium chassis and it got the best safety ratings of any car everit beat out much larger cars and even broke a testing machine because of how strong the car isthe machine broken in the process? the roof drop testing machinethe machine broke at just over 4Gs meaning the Tesla's roof can hold the weight of over 4 more teslas on top of itself before collapsingwith the proper shapes, aluminium can be incredibly strongthe biggest issues come from the way it behaves as a material during manufacturingaluminium is hard to weld and expands quite quickly compared o steelyou need to be very careful when working with aluminum on the other side, aluminum's increased flexibility can be used as a beneficial trait in crumple zone areas if you shape it in a way that guarantees it will flex under high stress i know it's not related but you should also check out the chassis of the Mclaren MP4-12Cit's a carbon fiber monocell that doesnt include a roofbecause of the shape and material the car is still very strong without a roofthat makes it incredibly easy to turn the car into a convertible with no need to add strengthening materialthe Porsche Carrera GT and 918 spyder and i think there are some Koenigseggs that also have a similar chassis type.
