The Dynamics of Vehicles on Roads and on Tracks: Proceedings of 10th IAVSD Symposium Held in Prague, Czechoslovakia, August 24-28, 1987 [Hardcover]

This book deals with identification methods for vehicle system dynamics and dynamic interaction of vehicles with tracks and roads. It also deals with injury sequence and injury severity as the consequence of the dynamic response of the vehicle during and after collision.1.
