Book Description
For many years, the evolution of safety improvements in motorsports was the result of a combination of science and perceived safe practices. Most safety developments were not based on rigorous laboratory testing, but rather on intuition and a “let’s try it and see what happens” approach. During the last few decades, motorsports has benefited from the organized research efforts made possible by academia, manufacturers, and sanctioning bodies, leading to present-day motorsports safety methodologies based on solid data and testing. This compendium, edited by some of the foremost racing safety experts, comprises selected technical papers that document the development and implementation of key motorsports safety technologies now in use. It is intended to provide racing professionals and enthusiasts with a concise overview of the significant engineering developments in motorsports driver safety that has occurred during the past two decades. The 13 papers chosen for this compendium, published between 1990 and 2013, reflect landmark safety studies and developments of that time. Eleven of the papers were published by SAE International and two were presented at the Stapp Car Crash Conference. The papers cover the following topics: • Crash testing simulations • Human crash injury and survival • Reducing driver injury in severe crashes • Head and neck restraints, including the HANS device • Race car seats • Restraint systems • Track safety and barrier systems The final paper is a study on the detailed performance of restraint systems and seats in examples of severe stock car crashes. The paper represents a succinct example of modern crash investigation of racing crashes with crash recording data, detailed injury analysis, and protective system performance. The progress in motorsports safety, as described in this compendium, has been dramatically effective in reducing driver injuries at the top levels of motorsports. Unfortunately, this is not true at the lower levels, where drivers continue to suffer preventable injuries and fatalities.

Book Description
Governed by strict regulations and the intricate balance of complex interactions among variables, the application of mechanics to vehicle crashworthiness is not a simple task. It demands a solid understanding of the fundamentals, careful analysis, and practical knowledge of the tools and techniques of that analysis. Vehicle Crash Mechanics s

Book Description
In 2003, 42,643 people were killed & more than 2.8 million people were injured in motor vehicle crashes. Efforts to reduce fatalities on the Nation's roadways include the Nat. Highway Trans. Safety Admin.'s (NHTSA) New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). Under this program, NHTSA conducts vehicle crash & rollover tests to encourage manufacturers to make safety improvements to new vehicles & provide the public with information on the relative safety of vehicles. This report examines: how NHTSA's NCAP crash tests vehicles, rates their safety, & reports the results to the public; how NHTSA's program compares to other programs that crash test vehicles & report results to the public; & the impact of the program & opportun. to enhance its effectiveness.
