Abstract
A device for simulating the effects of a crash on a test object is provided. The device includes a sled adapted to be accelerated in the longitudinal direction. The sled comprises a lower part and an upper part supported thereon used as a carrier for the test object. The lower part and the upper part have actuators provided between them, whereby pitching and yawing movements of the upper part can be generated. The upper part is, on an impact-side front end of the sled, propped against the lower part by means of a coupling rod which is rotatably coupled on both sides thereof, at least five actuators provided between the lower part and the upper part, the upper part being supported on the lower part via the actuators and the coupling rod such that a rolling movement of the upper part can additionally be generated by means of the actuators.
