Abstract: In the case of a method for calculating the impact behavior of a fluid-filled container, characteristic numbers and/or physical values of a solid body are used for the fluid, and the characteristic numbers and/or physical values are approximated to those of a fluid. This results in greatly simplifying the calculation of the impact behavior of the container.

Abstract: A method of producing a strain sensitive resistor includes matching an area of a film insulating layer to a shape of a recess in a surface of a support element.
