first time proposes a quantitative model of cartons and the interactive configuration space for …

Lightweight design of vehicle structures parameters under crashworthiness is hard to
accomplish because of the complexity of simulations required in crash analysis. To reduce …

Road accident reconstruction by simulation represents an important step to determine what
happened, as well as responsibilities of subjects involved in the event. To allow the …

Crash box that has not been maximal in absorbing energy during collisions are the basis for
researchers to redesign crash box. There are three designs of crash box that combined …

Automotive body frames, which profoundly affect automotive performance such as
crashworthiness, are generally formed using pressed metal sheets, and the assembled …
