Abstract
This book covers the development and use of analytical techniques to predict and analyze vehicle and occupant kinematics, providing an overview of what the new era in computer modeling promises to deliver, and providing examples of how it can be used to analyze and assess various crash events such as offset collisions, side impact, rear-end impacts, and rollovers. Partial contents: Computer Simulation: The Beginning of a New Era; Three Dimensional Analysis of a Vehicle in Flight; Occupant Kinematics in Impact Tests Using Retro-Fitted Mathematical Models; and more.
