by Ga.) International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition (1996 : Atlanta, American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Applied Mechanics Division, John D. Reid (Editor)

The 29 papers from this fourth conference held under the same name discuss a broad range of topics, including component analysis; side impact; crash-worthiness of trains (the inclusion of several papers on this subject is a first for this conference); passenger restraint systems; and various energy management techniques. A sampling of specific issues numerical simulations and predictions of spot-weld/weld-bond separation in aluminium closed-hat sections in axial collapse; reusable impact attenuation devices; door latch integrity; integrated vehicle-dummy-air bag model for frontal crash simulation; and testing and modeling of an automobile seat in frontal and rear collisions.
