Influence du comportement des structures d'un véhicule sur ses occupants en cas de collision

In the first section of the treatise a mathematical model is developed for the investigation of the dynamic behaviour of a vehicle engaged in a frontal collision. The second part contains an application for the consequences for the occupants of a car equipped with safety belts, and engaged in a collision with a fried object and in a collision between two cars. In the latter case difference is made between a frontal collision and a head-to tail collision. The conclusion is that the mathematical model as described despite its inherent limitations, can be a valuable means in the study of the consequences of a collision.
