Mathematical Methods for Accident Reconstruction (eBook, PDF)

A Forensic Engineering Perspective

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Developed from 25 years of investigating various accidents, this book demonstrates the application of mathematics to modeling accident reconstructions involving a range of moving vehicles, including automobiles, small and large trucks, bicycles, motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, and construction equipment such as hoists and cranes. The authors note several similarities and differences among the hundreds of reconstructions that are discussed in the text, present techniques such as photogrammetry and computer modeling, and address vehicle specifications, momentum methods, low speed impacts, and the limitations of applicability of the methods employed in accident reconstruction.
