Optimization Study on Whiplash Injury Reduction in Rear Impact

摘要

Neck whiplash is a common injury mode in rear impact. Seat design is improved to prevent whiplash injury. DOE study is conducted to determine the sensitivity of geometry and stiffness parameters of seat system based on MADYMO platform. Optimization of design parameters is performed to give the optimized level of seat design parameters to reduce neck whiplash injury.
