Abstract

The results of an empirical study of the dynamic conditions necessary for non- intrusive, plastic deformation of automotive lamp filaments is presented. The study revealed that acceleration levels necessary for permanent filament deformation are well in excess of the average values of deceleration experienced by an automobile, even in very high speed collisions.
