Abstract

In occupant safety analysis the development of validated numerical models for car crash dummies is necessary to assess accurately occupant loadings and potential injuries. In the case of side impact events, the strong coupling between the car structure deformation and the occupant kinematics motivates the use of Finite Element (FE) techniques for the modelling of the occupant. A previous publication of the authors presented the development and validation of a model for the EUROSID-1 thorax assembly. In this paper, further progress in the development of the full dummy is reported.
