Crash pulse recorder—validation in full scale crash tests

Accident Analysis & Prevention, 1995
Estimation of the accident severity is a fundamental requirement in accident reconstruction and analysis. Accident severity can be measured in many different ways, but in frontal collisions change of velocity, energy equivalent speed or equivalent barrier speed are frequently used parameters.

Comparison of roadside and vehicle crash test injury criteria in frontal crash tests

International Journal of Vehicle Safety, 2008
The flail space model is widely used to assess occupant injury risk potential in full-scale crash tests of roadside safety hardware, e.g. guardrail. A fundamental assumption of this model is that the occupant is unbelted and not airbag restrained. In the early 1980s, these were valid assumptions in the US: cars were not airbag equipped and belt usage ...

A Dislocation Crash Test

Science, 1998
Simulations of the behavior of complex structures--the crash of a car, for instance--can only succeed if the detailed response of materials to stress can be accounted for. In his research commentary, Gumbsch discusses results reported in the same issue by Zhou et al .

Truck Crash Testing

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1970
<div class="htmlview paragraph">Several tests have been conducted on the safety of cars, whereas similar experimental work on trucks is still scarce.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">This paper reports on the static and dynamic tests run to study the collision of trucks against different kinds of obstacles (barrier, cars ...

Crash-Testing in Robotics

2014
Ensuring safety leads to various aspects ranging from preventing electrical threats to coping with human mistakes. Up to now, this monograph focused on developing different methods for collision avoidance, detection, and reaction, i.e. to equip the robot with reactive motion control capabilities to appropriately react to environmental changes and ...

Crash tests for real

Nature, 1999
Some populations of animals undergo dramatic cycles in which the numbers vary considerably, and the causes of such cycles have long been debated. Two long-term, large-scale experiments on red grouse in Scotland and voles in Finland conclude that the respective agents of population crashes in these cases are a parasitic nematode and predator pressure.

Numerical Simulation of Motorcycles Crash Test

2004
Recently has been introduced the ISO 13232 standard in order to granter security in crash. Objective of this communication is to demonstrate how the multibody model can be used to make a first screening of the projects before verification on the field.

An Automotive Crash Test Facility

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1970
<div class="htmlview paragraph">Systems and techniques for conducting crash tests have been under study for a long period of time. Those now used by have been refined to the point where test parameters (speed, point of impact, etc.) are repeatable, and the acquisition of dynamic data is assured.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph"> ...

Dummies for crash testing motor cars

Applied Ergonomics, 1974
The paper describes the design and development of the Ogle-MIRA anthropomorphic dummies over the past five years. In the motor industry these dummies are used in safety testing of vehicles and the design of restraint systems. The work started at MIRA in 1969 to produce a dummy which was sufficiently realistic to test steering columns and safety belts ...
