Mathematical Methods for Accident Reconstruction: A Forensic Engineering Perspective
Autor Harold Franck, Darren Francken Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 sep 2009
The book is anchored on basic principles of physics that may be applied to any of the above-named vehicles or equipment. Topics covered include the foundations of measurement, the various energy methods used in reconstruction, momentum methods, vehicle specifications, failure analysis, geometrical characteristics of highways, and softer scientific issues such as visibility, perception, and reaction.
The authors examine the fundamental characteristics of different vehicles, discuss the retrieval of data from crash data recorders, and review low speed impacts with an analysis of staged collisions. Finally, the book details standards and protocols for accident reconstruction.
Exploring a broad range of accident scenarios and also acknowledging the limits of applicability of the various physical methods employed, the breadth and depth of the book’s coverage makes it a critical reference for engineers and scientists who perform vehicular accident reconstructions.

Notă biografică
Harold Franck and Darren Franck are experts in accident reconstruction and have worked on hundreds of investigations.
Descriere
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.
