Passenger Airbag Model of Deployment and Occupant Interaction. Volume 1. Final Report

摘要

The report describes the work done in developing a passenger side airbag model to be used with the Articulated Total Body (ATB) computer simulation program. It describes both the analytical model for the bag and the corresponding work done in incorporating the model into the ATB source code. The principal enhancements in the model are a new thermodynamic model of the bag, a new description of bag deployment and a modified calculation of penetration of the bag by body or vehicle segments.
