Instrument panels of 19 vehicles were tested for their stiffness characteristics. (The testing attempted to simulate loadings which occur during frontal collisions and includes contacts of knees to lower instrument panel sections, torso to mid-section and head to upper section.) The windshield testing included developing a procedure for the testing of windshields as they would be loaded under frontal collision conditions head/windshield contact. The purpose of testing was to develop a set of data which could be used in computer crash occupant simulation models in order to study automobile crashworthiness.
