The Crumple Zone – How Physics Saves Lives in a Crash, Crumple Zones Help Transfer Some of the Car's Kinetic Energy into Controlled Deformation, or Crumpling...
Why is a crumple zone so important?
Abstract. Crumple zones in any transportation structure are important since they are used to absorb kinetic energy during crash events. Consequently, fatalities among passengers in the compartment can be reduced.
What is a crumple zone and what is the purpose of it?
Crumple zones work by managing crash energy and increasing the time over which the deceleration of the occupants of the vehicle occurs, while also preventing intrusion into or deformation of the passenger cabin. This better protects car occupants against injury.
