      <title>EXPERIMENTAL VALIDATION OF AIRBAG ABRASION TEST PROCEDURE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/448581</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The validity of a laboratory test procedure for predicting the skin abrasion potential of driver-side airbags was investigated by comparing test results with abrasion injuries resulting from airbag deployment tests with human volunteers.  A series of 32 airbag deployment tests was conducted using the laboratory test procedure and a second identical series was conducted using the legs of volunteer subjects.  In each series, the tests included deployments with two levels of inflator capacity, distance, module cover retention, airbag fold, and gender.  In the volunteer tests, abrasions resulted from all but four deployments.  Statistical analyses were conducted to investigate the effects of the test variables on abrasion severity.  Abrasions were found to be significantly smaller in area for a deployment distance of 275 mm than for 200 mm.  The two folds produced significantly different abrasion severities. Gender and module cover retention did not affect  abrasion severity.  Results to inflator effect were compromised by a misclassification of airbag modules.]]></description>

      <title>ANALYTICAL PERFORMANCE OF AN AIRSTOP RESTRAINT SYSTEM IN AN AUTOMOBILE CRASH</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/116226</link>
      <description><![CDATA[AN ANALYTICAL REPRESENTATION, BASED ON A HAVERSINE ACCELERATION FUNCTION, IS PRESENTED FOR' THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT IN AUTOMOBILE-BARRIER CRASHES, CAR-TO-CAR, BOTH MOVING HEAD-ON, CAR-TO-CAR ONE-STATIONARY SIDE AND CAR-TO-CAR ONE-STATIONARY REAR CRASHES. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE AIRSTOP RESTRAINT /TO BE USED INITIALLY FOR PASSENGERS BUT NOT THE DRIVER/, CONSISTING OF A CHEST AIRBAG AUTOMATICALLY INFLATED JUST BEFORE A CRASH TO 0.1 TO 0.3 PSIG, AN INFLATED AIRSEAT, AND IN SOME APPLICATIONS A LAP BELT AND INFLATED FOOT AIRBAG, ARE PRESENTED ON THE BASIS OF DATA FOR SWING AND DROP TESTS, AND EXPERIMENTAL AIRPLANE CRASH TESTS. IN THIS EARLY PERIOD OF RESTRAINT IMPROVEMENT WITHOUT MODIFYING CAR CONTROLS, IT IS SUGGESTED THAT THE DRIVER WEAR A MORE RIGID RESTRAINT-LAP BELT AND SHOULDER STRAPS-PERMANENTLY IN PLACE. A PRELIMINARY DAMPED ELASTIC MODEL OF THE AIRSTOP SYSTEM, HAVING 1820 LB/FT SPRING CONSTANT, 3-CPS RESONANCE FREQUENCY, AND 22 PERCENT OF CRITICAL DAMPING, IS UTILIZED. FOR THE MOST SEVERE CRASH CASE, THE BARRIER IMPACT, IT IS SHOWN ON THE BASIS OF THESE MODELS THAT THE AIRSTOP RESTRINT WOULD CONVERT A 30 MPH PROBABLY FATAL IMPACT WITH PRESENT STRUCTURES AND LAP BELT /BUT WITHOUT UPPER BODY SUPPORT/ INTO A CRASH WITHOUT INJURY IF TWO FEET OF MOTION INTO THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WITHOUT BOTTOMING WERE AVAILABLE. IF CARS CANNOT HAVE THIS DISTANCE FOR CONTROLLED LOAD ISOLATION, IT IS SUGGESTED THAT A LAP BELT BE USED WITH A LESS DEFORMABLE AIRSEAT, SO THAT THE SYSTEM BECOMES ESSENTIALLY AN UPPER BODY RESTRAINT ADDITION TO PRESENT LAP BELT RESTRAINTS. /AUTHOR/]]></description>
