Abstract

This paper deals with the problem of reproducing the vertical distribution on intrusions in passenger compartments, between floor and facia level, in the correct way. This is a basic condition in order to obtain a deformation pattern similar to those found in real world accidents. A set of tests using Fiat UNO vehicles was performed. The aim is to analyse the effect of different barrier design parameters.
