Vehicle Crash Mechanics Prod. Code R-284

By Matthew Huang

Vehicle Crash Mechanics clarifies the complexities of this complex, multifaceted area of study. It sets forth the basic principles of engineering mechanics and applies them to the issue of crashworthiness. It explores the three primary elements of crashworthiness, vehicle, occupant, and restraints, and illustrates their dynamic interactions through analytical models, experimental methods, and test data from actual crash tests. Parallel development of the analysis of actual test results and the interpretation of mathematical models related to the test provides additional insight, and detailed case studies present real-world crash tests, accidents, and the effectiveness of air bag and crash sensing systems.
