IMPACT DEFORMATION
IMPACT DEFORMATION
(OP)
HELLO ALL: Here is my question:
A bus (40000#) hits a auto (4000#) in the rear end at a low speed (10 mph) The strucural supports for the bike rack on the bus are deformed plastically. Is there a way to calculate/estimate the force on each of the two brackets?
Cordially
Dave
