Design and Operation of Equipment for Impact Test of a Hydraulic Cushion

Design and Operation of Equipment for Impact Test of a Hydraulic Cushion

In recent years, experiments have been carried out to evaluate the performance of water-filled cushion cells used to attenuate energy of automobile collisions. The water-filled cushion cell is a vinyl plastic cylinder of 6 inches nominal outside diameter, 1/4 inch wall thickness, 40 inches length, c...
