Crashworthiness—in Perspective

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1972
Crashworthiness for automotive vehicles concerns more than how the fenders bend. The total system is involved from the vehicle's structure to the occupant's restraint. Field accident data must be used to establish the mix of variables required to provide an acceptable level of crashworthiness.

Study on the Impact of Crashworthiness Materials on the Crashworthiness Capacity of Double Hull Ship

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2015
Improving the crashworthiness of ship is an important guarantee for ship security. To fill different materials in the shipboard structure or attach fender devices outside the shipboard are important measures that can improve the crashworthiness of ship.

Crashworthiness analysis and optimisation of a multi-level bionic multi-cell tube under axial dynamic impact

International Journal of Crashworthiness
In this study, a multi-level bionic multi-cell tube (MBMT-n) is proposed, inspired by the horsetail’s cross-sectional structure, and the multi-cell tube shape and distribution characteristics of bamboo vascular bundles.

Crashworthiness by Steels

Since the early 2000s, automakers have begun to massively implement ultra-high strength steels in automotive body structures (Cornette et al. 2001, 2005; Fonstein 2015; Keeler et al. 2017; Allain et al. 2022) to address two major concerns which are:

Crashworthiness of helicopter subfloor structures

International Journal of Impact Engineering, 2002
To improve a helicopter design concept, which meets structural and crashworthiness requirements, a research program is undertaken to study the energy absorption capability of a subfloor structure. In particular, crash tests are performed on the subfloor structure and on the intersection elements, which are components of the structure and can create ...

Magnesium for Crashworthy Components

2016
Most applications of magnesium in automobiles are for nonstructural components. However, the light weight properties of magnesium make it attractive in structural applications where energy absorption in a crash is critical. Because most deformation in a crash occurs as bending rather than simple tension or compression, the advantages of magnesium are ...
