Compatibility: Causes, Constraints, improvement and Evaluation Proposal - Contrary to commonly accepted ideas mass plays no part in the way in which energy is distrulted between the two vehicles o Only the stiffness, by way of deformation loads - “ Two cars are compatible if they have the same EES (Equivalent Energy Speed) in a car-to-car crash†- Impact is also more severe, in terms of speed variation (conservation of momentum) for lighter cars Conclusions: - All cars should have homogenous front end - All vehicles should have minimum compartment force capacity (especially small cars) - All vehicle should absorb a minium amount of energy before reaching self protection force. (Especially big cars) • How far back can a secondary load path be positioned and still contribute significantly to improving a cars structural interaction. • What makes good compatibility o Structural interaction o Stiffness matching o Equal Compartment Strength • What make...
