Abstract

In this work, we investigate a safety mechanism and frame construction in order to alleviating automobile occupants' injury in frontal collision. The occupants' acceleration in collision can be controlled by decreasing the one into the cabin. In order to obtain the reduced acceleration, it is important to build artificially even better energy-absorbing systems. This approach examines the design and mechanism based on energy-absorbing forms, particularly, which are necessary to reduce to the occupants' injury criteria.
