Mathematical Modelling of Car Crash Test

Abstract

The vehicle crash tests are complex and complicated experiments, so it is advisable to establish their mathematical models. This paper contains an overview of the kinematic and dynamic relationships of a car in a crash. It is also containing basic mathematical models representing a collision together with its analysis. The main part of this paper is devoted to methods of establishing parameters of the vehicle crash model and to real crash data investigation i.e. – creation of a Spring Mass Model, Kelvin Model, and Maxwell’s Model for a real experiment (Dodge Neon), its analysis and validation.
