Body Crash Test

Side-impact tests

—Forms of accidents have a very significant

likelihood of fatality, as cars don't have a

significant crumple zone to absorb the

impact forces before an occupant is

injured.

—Roll-over tests

—To tests a car's ability (specifically the

pillars holding the roof) to support itself

in a dynamic impact. More recently

dynamic rollover tests have been proposed

as opposed to static crush testing.

—Roof Test

—For the evaluation of roof strength in

accordance with FMVSS 216, a steel plate

is used. This plate is inclined by 25­º in

relation to the horizontal vehicle

longitudinal plane and 5­º to the front. The

force put on is 1.5 times the vehicle curb

weight and the deformation measured

perpendicular the test plate should not

exceed 5in.
