A method of comparing two acceleration time histories to determine whether they describe
similar physical events is described. The method can be used to assess the repeatability of
full-scale crash tests and it can also be used as a criterion for assessing how well a finite-
element analysis of a collision event simulates a corresponding full-scale crash test. The
method is used to compare a series of six identical crash tests and then is used to compare
several finite-element analyses with full-scale crash test results.
