Energy Dissipation in High Speed Frontal Collisions

Design, development and analysis of a full carbon fibre reinforced composite chassis of an electric vehicle

“…A typical vehicle collision lasts approximately 100 milliseconds [4] and within this short period of time, the vehicle will undergo a sudden change in velocity (deceleration), the occupant in the vehicle will also undergo a similar change of velocity. Such sudden deceleration/acceleration will impose large forces on the occupants.…”
