A curb strike is when a vehicle tire contacts the curb. The angle, velocity, acceleration, stiffnesses, etc. determine the force transmitted into the vehicle. This is a standard load case for vehicle dynamics.

Your OEM will have their own tests and possibly equivalent pendulum rig tests, and I believe at least some legislatures have similar tests.
Failure criterion tend to be pretty subjective.
There's basically two types - high speed durability type events, where the car is intended to be entirely undamaged after many such impacts, and the maximum load case type events where significant damage and losss of function is acceptable from as few as three repetitions.

I am quite clear with kerb(Curb)-strike.If I have further queries in this regard, I will get back to this forum...
I was under the impression that Cory is an expert in Bolted connection and Greg in NVH. They know more than that and have multi-skills as it is required in mechanical engineering..Thanks again for your time...
