This textbook is sure to become a “must have” for every reconstructionist. It is a comprehensive resource that features easy to follow discussions, examples and crash tests specifically conducted for this text. The book is divided into two parts. In Part I, you are given a sound foundation with the mathematical topics and concepts of physics essential for the crash investigator. The topics are presented in a logical progression in order to guide you toward applications involving greater detail and an increased number of factors. In Part II, you will find in-depth discussions on topics specific to crash reconstruction including, but not limited to, friction and acceleration factors, time-distance relationships, collision analysis using damage momentum, damage energy analysis and even calculus. New to this edition are topics such as spin analysis, rotational mechanics, crash analysis, rollovers, and a stronger emphasis on vectors and vector notation. This textbook, originally titled Fundamentals of Traffic Accident Reconstruction and published by IPTM in 1988, has been completely revised to provide you with the most topical information available. With over 750 pages, the book contains numerous diagrams, pictures, formulas and examples. In addition, mathematical solutions are solved in both US and SI measurements. Exercises at the end of each chapter will allow you to practice your skills. Specifications: 768 pages; 8½”x11”; hardcover; Publisher: IPTM, 8th Printing (June 2018)
