Assessment of crashworthiness of the frontal part of a local car model

For an integral body or a body-on-frame vehicle, the vehicle’s frontal part is the major structural subsystem to absorb the impact energy in a frontal vehicle impact. Ideally, for each serious crash situation, the whole available deformation length must be used and all the impact energy must be abs...
