Abstract :
In a traffic accident, a high speed as well as a second collision would cause injury to the passengers. To protect passengers from possible head injury, based on WSTC Curve, requirements are put forward on the crush deformation of the collision-proof components in the frontal part of a vehicle in the light of Kinematics and Injury Biomechanics, from which the safety of collision-proof structures in automobiles is to be assessed.
