Preventing excessive roof crush and maintaining occupant survival space is an important element in reducing injuries in rollover accidents. In this paper, possible design changes to roof structure of existing automobiles are explored in order to produce a significant improvement in roof strength and energy absorption capability, thus reducing roof crush. The study is conducted on actual roof structural elements in both three-point bending as well as axial compression. The results obtained in the study are summarized.
