Vehicle Crash Testing

The book emphasizes that comprehensive crash testing, coupled with continuous research, forms the bedrock of improved vehicle safety. Crash test data directly influences vehicle design, leading to safer structures and advanced restraint systems. It analyzes various crash test scenarios, including frontal, side, rear, and rollover impacts. A key focus is the human body's response to impact forces, examining common injury mechanisms and the development of injury criteria. The book progresses from a historical overview to core principles and concludes with emerging technologies and future trends.
