A Novel Capability for Crush Testing Crash Energy Management Structures at Intermediate Rates

Published: Jun 3, 2002
Abstract
The crush performance of lightweight composite automotive structures varies significantly between static and dynamic test conditions. This paper discusses the development of a new dynamic testing facility that can be used to characterize crash performance at high loads and constant speed. Previous research results from the Energy Management Working Group (EMWG) of the Automotive Composites Consortium (ACC) showed that the static crush resistance...
