Abstract

This paper demonstrates a simulation model for the proposed National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) side impact test using a large vehicle Finite Element Method (FEM) including two occupant models. The calculation of the model is performed, based on the results of several dynamic tests of various components and full-scale vehicles. The paper presents modeling results which satisfactorily correlate to actual tests.
