Investigation of Pressure Rise in Automotive Airbags

Safety is a widely spread topic in engineering, from specific producing processes to everyday life. Innovation of passenger cars belongs to the frontline of industrial sector. Higher and higher performance motors, more streamlined vehicle dynamics, more reliable autonomous vehicles, and minor noise and vibration are the most expected developments what customers prefer. However, it is not allowed to forget automotive safety, which effectiveness prevents fatalities to drivers and passengers.
