Abstract

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROGRAM WAS TO DEVELOP A REAR END STRUCTURE WITH IMPROVED CRASH ENERGY CONTROL CHARACTERISTICS FOR LATE-MODEL PERIMETER FRAME AMERICAN-BUILT AUTOMOBILES. BASELINE IMPACT TESTS WERE CONDUCTED TO DETERMINE THE PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF CONVENTIONAL AUTOMOBILES IN REAR END IMPACTS AND TO PROVIDE A BASIS FOR LATER EVALUATION OF THE MODIFIED VEHICLES. SCALE MODEL DYNAMIC TESTS WERE CONDUCTED IN A PARAMETRIC STUDY OF VARIOUS ENERGY MANAGEMENT CONCEPTS. TWO BASIC DESIGNS AND THREE VEHICLES WERE INVESTIGATED IN A SERIES OF FULL-SCALE DEVELOPMENT TESTS. /NTIS/
