A study on the protection of a kind of new side airbag to occupants

摘要

Utilize the side impact of 60° and 90° sled test to research the protection performance of far-side side support airbag (FSSA) to occupant head. Correlate the built lateral restraint system model with the software of MADYMO, and then, evaluate the effectiveness of FSSA protection effect. Analyze the influence of side collision angles to FSSA protection with simulation of 90° far-side impact result based on the validated simulation model. Sled test and simulations shows that: 90° sled impact do more harm to occupant head at the same condition and FSSA can decrease the injury value effectively when it comes to far-side impact.
