Abstract

Side structure stiffness and side padding characteristics are optimized with the aid of a mathematical simulation model for the side-on vehicle-to-vehicle collision. The relation between the optimum side padding characteristics and the side structure stiffness is determined on the basis of a defined combination of test conditions. The results are formulated in terms of a design concept, and the effectiveness of this concept for occupant protection is investigated in crash tests.
