Evaluating Frontal Crash Test of Developed Vehicle Chassis Frame Structure to Identify Crashworthiness Through Scaled Model for Injury Reduction

Abstract

Vehicle accidents can result in a wide range of injuries depending on the severity of the impact. The safety of passengers is the most important aspect in the vehicle industry. Collision-induced frame deformation could result in serious injuries. The majority of deaths in such cases are caused by excessive impact force and deceleration pulses on the human body. Accidents occur despite all human efforts to prevent them. It has been observed that many deaths and serious injuries occur in accidents that are tolerable. Unfortunately, capsulitis occurs because the vehicle's protective systems, such as seats, restraint systems, and cabin strength, were insufficient to protect the occupants in the event of an accident. Which could otherwise be harmless. To maximize survivability in a crash, the tolerance of humans to absorb sudden acceleration must be understood, and the vehicle must be designed to maintain cabin integrity up to the limits of human tolerance. This would be possible with the careful application of energy-absorbing techniques that reduce the accelerations experienced by the occupants. In this paper, an experimental crash test for full frontal impacts is performed on a developed prototype chassis frame to reduce the Cash Pulse during the accident.
