Abstract

A series of lateral pendulum-impact tests were conducted on human cadavers (Viano et al 1989, Viano 1989) to determine human biomechanical responses and injuries to the chest, abdomen and pelvis. The studies provide a database of human injuries, tolerance levels and biomechanical response corridors. By conducting lateral impact pendulum tests on Eurosid I and Biosid following the same conditions as the cadaver tests, the aims of the present study are: 1) to study the biofidelity of Eurosid I and Biosid by comparing the dummy responses with human response corridors established in Viano (1989); 2) to establish a technical basis for injury risk functions and telerance levels in Eurosid I and Biosid dummy by correlating dummy responses with human cadaver responses.
