Abstract

The purpose of this investigation on vehicle side-impact stiffness and the comparison of the static and dynamic tests was to contribute guidelines for a final test procedure. The investigation emphasized testing of side parts significant to the objectives of the test: door only, door and sill, or door, sill and roof. The report treats the question of what degree a test of only new cars will be useful, without considering the state of corrosion of older vehicles.
