Crash test

A crash test is a form of destructive testing usually performed in order to ensure safe design standards in crashworthiness and crash compatibility for various modes of transportation or related systems and components.

Types

  • Frontal-impact tests: which is what most people initially think of when asked about a crash test. These are usually impacts upon a solid concrete wall at a specified speed, but can also be vehicle-vehicle tests. SUVs have been singled out in these tests for a while, due to the high ride-height that they often have.
  • Moderate Overlap tests: in which only part of the front of the car impacts with a barrier (vehicle). These are important, as impact forces (approximately) remain the same as with a frontal impact test, but a smaller fraction of the car is required to absorb all of the force. These tests are often realized by cars turning into oncoming traffic. This type of testing is done by the U.S.A. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), EuroNCAP, Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) and ASEAN NCAP.
  • Crash Test 02

    Crash Test 02 is the second and final album by Italian band Bloom 06. After many delays, the album was finally released on May 23, 2008. Like their first album, Crash Test 01, this album features lyrics in both English and Italian.

    Crash Test 02 Previews

    Prior to the album's release, Bloom 06 released multiple previews of various songs from their album on their MySpace page. The first song was Between the Lines, on February 12, 2008. After strong response from their fans, 3 other previews were added, Anche solo per un attimo, Un'altra come te, and Welcome to the Zoo.

    After the album's release, You're Amazing and Fall were added to the available preview list.

    Singles

    "Un'altra come te" was the album's first single, released 2 May 2008. "Between the Lines" was featured as the first track on the band's EP "Club Test 01". An English version of "Un'altra come te" was released in January 2009.

    Crash Test 01 is the debut album of Bloom 06. The album was released on October 13, 2006. The album was to be Eiffel 65's fourth album but Eiffel 65 members Jeffrey Jey and Maurizio Lobina left Bliss Corporation to pursue interests in their own production company. The track "In the City", also the first single, is based on an Eiffel 65 song, "Living in My City" from their 2003 album Eiffel 65.

  • Crash test dummy

    A crash test dummy is a full-scale anthropomorphic test device (ATD) that simulates the dimensions, weight proportions and articulation of the human body, and is usually instrumented to record data about the dynamic behavior of the ATD in simulated vehicle impacts. This data can include variables such as velocity of impact, crushing force, bending, folding, or torque of the body, and deceleration rates during a collision for use in crash tests. The more advanced dummies are sophisticated machines designed to behave as a human body and with many sensors to record the forces of an impact; they may cost over US$400,000.

    For the purpose of U.S. regulation and Global Technical Regulations and for clear communication in safety and seating design, dummies carry specifically designated reference points, such as the H-point; these are also used, for example, in automotive design.

    Crash test dummies remain indispensable in the development of and ergonomics in all types of vehicles, from automobiles to aircraft.

    Crash Test Dummy

    by: Ulrik Munther

    You always say that I'm in your way
    I'm guilty of no crime
    I'm not your hard times
    Your bad hair day ain't mine to care
    (But) I won't take the blame
    Your accusations are lame
    Ooh
    And I can tell you want a fight
    Ooh
    But I won't be your punishing bag
    I'm not your freaking [?]
    You're always take it out of me
    I'm not gonna be
    I'm not a crush test dummy
    Cause you got nothing on me
    I'm not gonna be your crash test dummy
    Seems like lately you love to hate me
    I don't know why but its a
    waste of our time
    Cause everybody singing to the
    same old song
    Nothing ever changes til
    It's too far gone
    Ey,
    ooh
    And I don't want that to be up
    Ooh
    But I won't be your punishing bag
    I'm not your freaking [?]
    You're always take it out of me
    I'm not gonna be
    I'm not a crush test dummy
    Cause you got nothing on me
    I'm not gonna be a crash test dummy
    I get its not attention of a girl
    It hurts
    In Every single Word
    Ooh
    We are just a fraction
    Of what we could be
    If you only let me in
    I'd wipe your tears and understand
    I'd listen to your favorite bands
    Cove our name into a tree
    It could be just you and me
    But I won't be your punishing bag
    I'm not your freaking [?]
    You're always take it out of me
    I'm not gonna be
    I'm not a crush test dummy
    Cause you got nothing on me
    I'm not gonna be your crash test dummy
