Structural adaptivity for acceleration level reduction in passenger car frontal collisions

A mathematical model was developed to explore and demonstrate the injury reducing potential of an adaptable frontal stiffness system for full frontal collisions. The model was validated by means of crash tests and was found to predict the peak accelerations of the crash test vehicles well, whereas c...
