THE USE OF THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S VEHICLE CRASH TEST DATA BASE IN A STUDY OF VEHICLE STRUCTURAL RESPONSES
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's vehicle crash test data base which contains information on almost 700 vehicles is providing the data for extensive studies of vehicle structural responses. An example of a study shows the significance of vehicle crash pulses to potential occupant injuries. For the covering abstract of the conference see TRIS 391971. (TRRL)
