METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONDUCTING CRASH-SLED TESTS
First Claim
1. Method for conducting crash sled tests, in particular for simulating the impact of a motor vehicle on an obstacle, whereby the deceleration forces of a real collision are simulated by accelerating a crash sled in a manner corresponding to the real deceleration curve, characterized in that, additionally, the pitching motion upon impact is simulated by moving the test object in the vertical direction.

Abstract
Method for conducting crash sled tests, in particular for simulating the impact of a motor vehicle on an obstacle, whereby the deceleration forces of a real collision are simulated by accelerating a crash sled in a manner corresponding to the real deceleration curve, and whereby, for an improved simulation of the movement of the test object upon impact, the pitching motion in a collision is additionally simulated by moving the test object in the vertical direction. Also, a device for applying said method.
