Vehicle Safety

MERL has built up experience in the field of vehicle safety over the past 10 years. Work has included development of rubber components for crash test dummies, tuning dynamic characteristics to mimic those of human joints. Extensive mechanical testing has been performed to asses both the impact resistance and long term durability performance of adhesives used in structural and semi-structural joints (eg spaceframes, windscreens).
