Optimization Analysis of Chest Injury of a Dummy in a Vehicle Subjected to Side Collision

摘要

A side slide test was carried out in light of score deduction of chest injury of a dummy in a sedan subjected to side impact. A modification in side airbag folding was made thereafter and the dummy chest injury was minimized through the entire vehicle side collision test by resizing the vent hole and adding pelvis foam inside the door trim. Max value of rib compression following the optimization reduced and the dummy chest obtained a perfect score. Meanwhile, the vehicle's side collision C-NCAP scored 16.
