The primary purpose of the program was to investigate the lateral and torsional stiffness characteristics of the Calspan Corporation Pendulum Test Device (PTD). The static stiffness measurements were made (before and after pendulum modification). Several pendulum impact tests were performed (before and after pendulum modification) on a 1973 Ford Galaxie bumper guard with various degrees of pendulum bumper guard centerline offset. The bumper impact tests were documented on high speed film.
