Stiffness ratio of unrigid and rigid joints of sub-branch 1 of pillar B.
| B pillar lower joint | Front and back bending stiffness (N·mm/rad) | Internal and external bending stiffness (N·mm/rad) | Torsional rigidity (N·mm/rad) |
| Unrigid joint | 4.651E + 08 | 1.609E + 08 | 5.734E + 08 | Rigid joint | 7.782E + 08 | 3.757E + 08 | 9.116E + 08 |
