Hi
Our team has found a resource that could provide us with the software analysis of the impact attenuator but I want to know if the physical testing is absolutely necessary. And if it is, then what is the best way to go about it.

Thanks

If you use a compression machine you can use the force vs displacement data.

So long as you can show the effect of material strain rate is negligible.
