Hi I am working on the designing of a crash test bench to measure vehicle door intrusions ?

Could some one provide me basic ideas on the test bench set up and how to mout the door on the test rig and which degrees of freedom to lock ?.

A novel self-locked energy absorbing system

Submitted by Yuli Chen on

http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jmps.2015.11.008  Metallic thin-walled round tubes are widely used as energy absorption elements.  However, lateral splash of the round tubes under impact loadings reduces the energy absorption efficiency and may cause secondary damages.  Therefore, it is necessary to assemble and fasten round tubes together by boundary constraints and/or fasteners between tubes, which increases the time and labor cost and affects the mechanical performance of round tubes.  In an
