Abstract
Current methods for designing Formula One (F1) crash structures are mainly based on costly iterative experiments, aimed at minimising the component mass and maximising driver safety. This paper assesses the simplified block approach used in F1 to computationally predict crashworthiness. Quasi-static and dynamic crush experiments of flat and tubular coupons are presented, to generate data for the modelling of a F1 Side Impact Structure (SIS). The...
