Abstract

In order to reduce the maximum value of occupant deceleration in a vehicle crash, a body structure was devised to approximate the optimal vehicle deceleration wave form by utilizing the difference of the deformation mode of the body. This concept of structure was successfully applied to an actual vehicle.
