M0001_f_acceleration.m

Contents

Discription:

This function calculates the maximal negative acceleration of a frontal car crash depending on the mass of the car and the force the passive safety structure provides to stop the car.

% Input:
% F_2 = Deformation force of the second sector of the car [N]
% m = Mass of the car [kg]

% Intermediate:

% Output:
% a_max = Maximal negative acceleration occuring while the crash [m/s^2]

% Example:

Formula:

$a_{max} = \frac{F_2}{m}$

function [a_max] = M0001_f_acceleration(F_2,m)

a_max = F_2 ./ m;

end
