A comprehensive assessment of bus rollover crashes: integration of multibody dynamic and finite element simulation methods

Rollover crashes have the highest fatality rate and exhibit complex and unpredictable mechanisms in terms of vehicle-ground and vehicle-occupant interactions. The objective of this study is to eval...
