Damage Analysis for High Speed Impacts?

Post by MSI »

Q: Is anyone aware of papers discussing crash tests beyond the 35 mph NCAP testing?

A: It has been suggested since the 80's that the damage analysis model of CRASH and CRASH clones should consider some possible modification for higher speed impacts.
A good starting point for that discussion is
Strother, et al
They discuss possible alternative models beyond the simple linear model of CRASH such as bi-linear.
For higher speed crashes the problem becomes:
  • where does one get more than data points for various vehicles?
