Abstract

A formulation is presented that augments a recently developed method for determining the nonlinear stiffness and damping characteristics of structures subjected to crash-loading environments. The motivation for this research is to develop lumped mass models of automobiles from acceleration and barrier load data collected during frontal barrier crash testing. The underlying approach in this method is being applied in a global system identification methodology. The application of this methodology towards frontal crashworthiness research projects is discussed.
