In this paper a short description is reported allowing to take into account some aspects to design structures used for automotive industries. It allows to define correctly the behaviour of a vehicle and mainly the passive structures to absorb energy during an accident or an impact. The main aspect related to the behaviour is the strain rate sensitivity coupled to the process of elastic wave propagation.
