we are first year team. we dont have facilities to have an exact and accurate test of impact attenuator.

is it necessary to carry a crashed specimen to the event ???

cant we just take the calculations and the design parameters only..

please help us with any sort of advice on testing.

we are thinking of using pu foam but are not able to get an accurate curve of the pu foam.

so help..... cheers
