This book was released on 2005 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A concerted goal of this book is to raise the analytical level of accident reconstruction practice such that commonly known scientific, engineering and mathematical methods increasingly become a more common part of the field. Chapters include: uncertainty in measurements & calculations; tire forces; straight-line motion; critical speed from the yaw marks; reconstruction of vehicular rollover accidents; analysis of collisions, impulse-momentum theory; crush energy; frontal vehicle-pedestrian collisions; photogrammetry; vehicle dynamic simulation.
