Abstract

It is shown that in-the-field side impact accidents generally occur involving important deformations of the passenger compartment. The crash tests give acceleration values of the dummy which are higher when the intrusion reaches the dummy during the impact. However, it is not possible to foresee the effect of stiffened structures on the passenger because of the human tolerance to side impact is still little known.
