Mr. Bare specializes in the analysis and reconstruction of motor vehicle crashes involving passenger cars, light trucks and sport utility vehicles. Mr. Bare has particular expertise in the investigation of vehicle rollover crashes including assessments of vehicle handling, tire/component failure, rollover dynamics and rollover stability. He is experienced in the reconstruction of complex accident situations including high-speed collisions, pole/guard rail impacts and post-collision fuel-fed fires. In the process of his analysis, he has conducted numerous physical demonstrations including high and low-speed full-scale crash tests, vehicle component and restraint systems testing, and handling demonstrations.
Mr. Bare’s expertise includes the analysis of computer programs and simulations used in the reconstruction of crashes and rollovers. Mr. Bare has further developed expertise in the use of recorded sensor data from both restraint system control modules and heavy truck engine control modules in accident reconstruction analysis.
Prior to joining Exponent, Mr. Bare consulted on issues related to crash reconstruction with M.P. Holcomb Engineering Corporation and Biodynamic Research Corporation. While at the University of Missouri, he developed and analyzed vehicle handling and rollover simulations for Department of Transportation research contracts. |
