Pages : 624
Book Description
A systematic treatment of current crashworthiness practice in the automotive, railroad and aircraft industries. Structural, exterior and interior design, occupant biomechanics, seat and restraint systems are dealt with, taking account of statistical data, current regulations and state-of-the-art design tool capabilities. Occupant kinematics and biomechanics are reviewed, leading to a basic understanding of human tolerance to impact and of the use of anthropometric test dummies and mathematical modelling techniques. Different types of restraining systems are described in terms of impact biomechanics. The material and structural behaviour of vehicle components is discussed in relation to crash testing. A variety of commonly used techniques for simulating occupants and structures are presented, in particular the use of multibody dynamics, finite element methods and simplified macro-elements, in the context of design tools of increasing complexity, which can be used to model both vehicles and occupants. Audience: An excellent reference for researchers, engineers, students and all other professionals involved in crashworthiness work.

Book Description
Side impact car crashes account for roughly 30% of all fatalities in road accidents including passenger cars and light trucks, and they tend to have a disastrous effect on the human body than all other types of car accidents due to very less crumple zone. In consideration of all this, even in the lower end and higher end vehicle segments, active safety systems are incorporated more often for side impact protection. However, there is still a large number of vehicles built without side airbags, in specific regions such as North America and emerging markets. Therefore, it is still necessary to engineer passive safety measurement by utilizing safety countermeasures, such as foams solutions to protect the occupant during side impact collisions. The present study is focused on investigation of the advantage of applying high efficient energy absorption foams for side impact protection of car occupants. First, the characteristics of high energy absorbing foam models are examined by finite element analysis and simulations of the Drop Tower Tests and the Free Motion Headform tests. After ensuring material models behavior, the design of the current B-pillar is altered by adding foam into its cavity. Subsequently, side impact test simulations of a typical passenger car with a moving deformable barrier, as per NHTSA and IIHS safety regulations, with the current and modified B-pillar are conducted. In the end, various injury criteria are evaluated by positioning a ES-2re finite element dummy model with, a three-point lap and shoulder seat belt into the driver seat. The study demonstrates that the potential for the use of high-energy absorbing foam for side impact protection.

Book Description
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 214, “Side Impact Protection” was amended to assure occupant protection in a 33.5 mph crash test and phased-in to new passenger cars during model years 1994-1997. A Thoracic Trauma Index, TTI(d) is measured on Side Impact Dummies seated adjacent to the impact point. Manufacturers upgraded side structures and affixed padding in cars to improve TTI(d). Later, they installed two types of side air bags – torso bags and head air bags – for additional occupant protection in cars and LTVs. This report provides statistical analyses of 1993-2005 crash data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and the General Estimates System (GES) estimate fatality reductions for these technologies.
