Abstract

Occupant protection systems for automobiles are currently highly publicized. An airbag inflating at high speed impacts occupant with great force. Airbag safety relies on their construction with primarily woven fabrics. We have referred to a typical pressure-time history of an airbag, and developed a device to measure impact load when the fabric airbag inflates at high speed. When interior pressure in the airbag increases, impact load increases. Also, the impact load on a body increases as the distance between the body and airbag decreases. The relation between indenting ratio and pressure ratio gives a common parameter for different samples and different experimental conditions.
