What the best design for it to absorb energy in a crash, pretty mucu like a crumple zone, while still having good torsional stiffness?
Something like this:
On psge 128 where it says Example of a more crushable design.
What about a four tube chassis design.
Something like this
Would the triangulation in the front rails (the ones on the left side of the picture) hinder crumple-zone like deformation?
Has any spaceframe with straight frame rails been tested in a crash? Or at least a computer simulation?
tnx
