Abstract

A flexible legform impactor will be introduced to JNCAP in 2010. The purpose of this study is to verify the flexible legform impactor kinematics and mechanical responses to those of the TRL impactor in the car front impact. The flexible legform impactor FE model used in this study was developed using reverse engineering technology based on X-ray diffraction. The impact kinematics and the mechanical responses were compared with the test results.
