Side Swipes

I've got a low-velocity side swipe accident. The only approach I know of
is to compare the damage to crash test photos where the g-force has
been measured and to then infer the g-force in the accident I'm analyzing. I
would also like to be able to use an analytical approach, but I have not
seen any references on the subject other than a vibration dose approach
which does not appear to be practical for most applications where all you
have is the damage. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks, Vince
