The consequences of a head-on collision of two cars can be studied by considering the impact of the car on a barrier, as shown in Fig. 1.65. Construct a mathematical model by considering the masses of the car body, engine, transmission, and suspension and the elasticity of the bumpers, radiator, sheet metal body, driveline, and engine mounts.
