Abstract

Occupant thoracic and abdominal injury during automotive crashes accounts for the biggest portion of all automotive injuries which is about 45 percent. So it’s important to improve the vehicle’s protective performance which leads to the high demand for crash test dummy. At present, crash test dummies are used in automotive impact in order to design and assess new vehicle safety performance. Hybird III I is widely used in the world and it’s same in China. However Hybird III doesn’t meet the Chinese anthropology which the Hybird III is bigger than Chinese. So it’s in urgent need to establish the crash test dummy for Chinese. In this study, a finite element dummy with thorax and abdomen which is consistent with the 50th percentile Chinese male in order to predict the mechanism response of Chinese occupant during automotive impact and improve the impact automotive safety specifically for Chinese is developed.
