Frontal collision analysis of City Car
… tests the proposed crash system of the CityCar. The car is to fold during the crash to help decrease the impact force experienced by the passengers. The experiment was conducted by running a simulation of the car crashing into a wall compared to that of a rigid car with no folding, and by …

Motor car aesthetics : The contexts of design.
… the research was to quantify the proportions of car bodies and plot these graphically, with a view to extrapolating future developments. There are a number of objections to such a scheme, the most fundamental being that it pre-supposes an evolutionary process which does not in fact obtain except …
