CUSTOMIZED ABDOMEN INSERT RESPONSE FINITE ELEMENT MODEL FOR CRASH TEST DUMMY AND METHOD

摘要

A customized abdomen insert response finite element model for an abdomen insert of a crash test dummy is disclosed. A method of creating the customized abdomen insert response finite element model for the abdomen insert of the crash test dummy includes the steps of identifying two borderline sets of test data profiles for the abdomen insert that match with the test data profiles of the abdomen insert for the crash test dummy, varying material properties of components of the abdomen insert for the crash test dummy, defining a mapping function to adjust the material properties and allowing intermediate sets of the test data profiles to be interpolated from the test data profiles, and creating a single abdomen insert response finite element model for the abdomen insert of the crash test dummy with a user-defined input parameter for the abdomen insert response finite element model that defines a customized response.
