79311When it comes to the crunch : the mechanics of car collisions

To understand this phenomenon, both the special features of car structures and the elementary physics of collisions are explained. These ideas are then applied to roll-overs, side impacts, head-on collisions etc, allowing the reader to analyze accidents.
