Abstract

Rigid moving barriers and deformable moving barriers are compared conceptually and analytically, and advantage of the deformable barriers in representing average vehicles are presented. Several physical concepts for controlled energy dissipation are described, and experimental test results given. Architecture and power plant mass representation are discussed, and the need for field accident analysis as basis for structural representations is stressed.
