Evaluation of the BioSID and EuroSID-1. Volume 6: Comparison of the Dynamic Response of BioSID S/N 01 and 02 to the ISO Guidelines for Side Impact Dummy Response.

摘要

In July 1989, the NHTSA initiated a project to evaluate the BioSID and compare its dynamic responses with those of the SID. This comparison was conducted in two phases. The first phase was a series of side impact sled simulations with a variety of padded loading surfaces. These sled tests were conducted with each of three dummies--SID, BioSID, and EuroSID-1. The second phase of the project compared crash test responses of the BioSID and SID. Additional evaluations included the repeatability and reproducibility of the BioSID's response and the durability of the production version dummy. The BioSID's dynamic responses were also compared to the International Standards Organization's recommendations for side impact dummies. Finally, preliminary calibration requirements for the BioSID were established. The final report describes procedures and results of the tests and analyses conducted as part of the project. The report is divided into six volumes which each describe a different aspect of the project. This volume compares the dynamic response of the BioSID to ISO guidelines.
