When It Comes to the Crunch: The Mechanics of Car Collisions

4.9/5 (24384 ratings)

Description:This book explains how the car, as a structure, behaves in various types of accidents. In order to understand such behaviour the special features of car structures and the elementary physics of car collisions are explained. These ideas are the applied to roll-overs, side impacts, head-on collisions, etc. The reader is then shown how accidents can be analysed. The existing international rules for the design of car structures are also studied and it soon becomes apparent that these rules are inadequate in many respects. This is probably the main reason why racing drivers survive the severest accidents but many ordinary motorists do not survive crashes at one quarter of the speed.Contents: Introduction: About the Structure of a Motor CarThe Physics of Impacts between Deformable BodiesRoll-over and Roof StrengthSide ImpactsFrontal ImpactsCollisions into the Rear Ends of CarsLow-velocity Property-damage AccidentsLoose Objects in CarsConclusionReadership: High school physics students and the general public.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
