TY - JOUR PY - 2005// TI - Research on Stiffness Matching Between Vehicles for Frontal Impact Compatibility JO - Proceedings: International Technical Conference on the Enhanced Safety of Vehicles A1 - Watanabe, Taisuke A1 - Hirayama, Shigeru A1 - Obayashi, Kazuhiro A1 - Okabe, Tomosaburo SP - 7p EP - 7p VL - 2005 IS - N2 - To achieve good frontal impact compatibility, it is necessary to help match stiffness between vehicles in addition to the enhancement of structural interaction. In this paper, the issues of helping stiffness matching in frontal sport utility vehicle (SUV)-to-car impacts were studied using MADYMO vehicle simulation and MADYMO occupant dummy simulation.
