DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION OF A MULTI-CHANNEL LOAD SENSING SYSTEM FOR RESEARCH OF CRASHWORTHINESS

A multichannel load sensing system has been developed for measuring impact loads on vehicle structure parts independently, during impact against the fixed barrier. By using the above load cell for rear-end collision against the fixed barrier for two different rear body types, the distribution of the impact loads and the energy absorption of the required vehicle structural parts could be clarified.
