Volume two of a two volume bibliography continues test results on the crashworthiness and safety of passenger vehicles upon impact with stationary structures, other vehicles, median berms, and curbs. Individual reports are excluded on air bag restraints and bumper tests. The responses of vehicle structural components are studied in displacement and strain measurements, and in detailed examinations of permanently deformed components, following individual tests. Research involves vehicle impacts front to front, lateral, at angles, and onside, as well as collisions involving poles, bridge parapets, highway structures, and safety and test barriers. Anthropomorphic tests are described using experimental test vehicles, rocket propelled sleds, and safety harness. Computerized simulation, mathematical models, and scale model studies are also described. (This updated bibliography contains 130 abstracts, 38 of which are new entries to the previous edition.)
