Abstract

A vehicle interior impactor was designed and fabricated to permit evaluation of vehicle interior surfaces with regard to their energy absorbing characteristics. This device can evaluate interior surfaces of production vehicles without their modification and at lower cost and in less time than impact sled testing. The impactor is free standing and accommodates action and reaction loads from firing and impact within its own frame.
