The increasingly tougher international regulations force motor vehicle designers and manufacturers to find complex solutions that should increase the protection of motor vehicle occupants. In this paper the author carries out an analysis on the energy absorption by a front strut-type structure of a motor vehicle involved in head-on collision with a rigid barrier inclined at various angles. Small overlap collisions open new challenges for car manufacturers with a view to developing structures able to absorb the impact and provide safety to the motor vehicle occupants.
