The need for accurate validated dummy models is growing more and more. This paper describes the latest investigations for validating the FAT and PDB dummy models. New validation test results are shown and the latest releases of the ...

A substantial prerequisite for the performance of airbag modules during collisions is the structural integrity of all module components. This paper focuses on integrity assessment of passenger airbag module housings during deployment ...

The development of occupant safety systems does not only require an accurate numerical In-Position model but also an Out-of-Position (OoP) simulation model. To meet the needs of OoP simulation Takata-Petri developed an advanced ...

Die derzeitigen Ansprüche an die Aussagegüte einer Insassensimulation im Frontcrash fordern ein Dummymodell, welches als Messinstrument in der Lage sein muss, sowohl Verletzungskriterien als auch Interaktionen mit den ...

Uncoated fabrics will continue to have a major market share in airbag applications in the future. The reasons are smaller package size, easier recycling and reduced material cost. In order to achieve proper prediction of performance ...

From February 2009 Euro NCAP (European New Car Assessment Program) has introduced a new overall safety rating for cars. This revised rating with a maximum award of five stars shall take real life safety more into consideration and ...

The corpuscular method is a coarse-grained muti-scale method developed for gas dynamics simulation. It is based on the kinetic molecular theory, where molecules are viewed as rigid particles obeying Newton’s laws of mechanics. Each ...

The improvements in frontal crash safety registered in the last decade have been considerable, however, these improvements could only be partially transferred to the area of side crash. This accounts for part of the reasons why this ...

This talk gives an overview in variability in crash testing, crash dummy variability minimization as well as discusses CAE needs and solutions.

For testing side impact performance of vehicles two recent male-sized dummies are available. Currently only the ES-2(re) is used in regulations and consumer test. It is expected that the WorldSID will be used for some load cases as ...
