Structural, exterior  and interior design, occupant biomechanics, seat and restraint systems  are dealt with, taking account of statistical data, current  regulations and state-of-the-art design tool capabilities. Occupant  kinematics and biomechanics are reviewed, leading to a basic  understanding of human tolerance to impact and of the use of  anthropometric test dummies and mathematical modelling techniques.  Different types of restraining systems are described in terms of  impact biomechanics. The material and structural behaviour of vehicle  components is discussed in relation to crash testing. A variety of  commonly used techniques for simulating occupants and structures are  presented, in particular the use of multibody dynamics, finite element  methods and simplified macro-elements, in the context of design tools  of increasing complexity, which can be used to model both vehicles and  occupants. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eAudience:\u003c\/em\u003e An excellent reference for researchers, engineers,  students and all other professionals involved in crashworthiness work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-11-06\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9789401064477\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401064477\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-5796-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 631\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358990528652,"sku":"9789401064477","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401064477.jpg?v=1755100105","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789401064477","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
