ABSTRACT:
A method of determining crash deflection data for an automobile at a number of crash speeds of interest in which a single vehicle is impacted at a first speed and the energy absorbed in that impact is determined and the vehicle is impacted at a second, lower speed that results in a total vehicle energy absorption equivalent to that absorbed by the vehicle had it been initially impacted at a desired speed higher than the first speed.
