Publisher's Synopsis

A full-scale, two-care impact test was conducted on April 4, 2000. The coupled rail passenger cars impacted a fixer barrier at 26 mph. The cars were instrumented with strain gauges, accelerometers, and string potentiometers to measure the deformation of the critical structural elements, the longitudinal, vehicle, and lateral car body accelerations, and the displacement of the truck suspensions.
