Abstract

Basic parameters that determine the occupant injury gravity, in a side crash are speed and the hit sidewall hardness. These two parameters are intimately linked together, and a full- scale reconstitution of a lateral collision does not permit their separation easily. A method is presented in this paper that uses a subsystem- type test arrangement, reproducing the physical lateral shock sequence while having the two parameters separated.
