TY - JOUR PY - 1993// TI - Modelling the occupant in a vehicle context - an integrated approach JO - Proceedings: International Technical Conference on the Enhanced Safety of Vehicles A1 - Sturt, R.m.v. A1 - Walker, B.d. A1 - Miles, J.c. A1 - Giles, A. A1 - Grew, N. SP - 1114 EP - 1121 VL - 1993 IS - N2 - Numerical simulation plays a key role in design for crashworthiness. Analysis of vehicle structure performance, occupant motion and restraint systems, and occupant/structure interaction are currently tackled by different methods in design offices. Different software and, often, different analysts were used. However, this paper demonstrates that it is now feasible to adopt a single unified approach. The argument is developed with particular reference to occupant modelling. The argument is supported by quantitative correlations between sled tests and simulation.
