Abstract

Within the frame of the Joint Biomechanical Research Project, five actual lateral car to car collisions were reconstructed by means of 18 dunmy tests and 14 cadaver tests. A first synthesis of the results obtained was presented in the summer of 1981. Additional research efforts were thought desirable ; corresponding results, based on the available data material, are the subject of this communication.
