DIGITAL SIMULATION OF AN INFLATABLE SAFETY RESTRAINT

THE SIMULATION SHOULD BE USEFUL BOTH FOR PARAMETER STUDIES AND AS A SUPPLEMENT TO EXPERIMENT. THIS TWO- DIMENSIONAL DIGITAL SIMULATION IS NOW BEING COMPLETED AS PART OF THE CAL/AMA TWO-DIMENSIONAL CRASH VICTIM SIMULATION. THIS PAPER DISCUSSES THE ASSUMPTIONS MADE TO FORMULATE THE MODEL, SKETCHES THE SIMULATION ORGANIZATION AND OUTLINES THE THREE MAJOR SUBMODELS--THERMODYNAMICS, BAG SHAPE, AND RESTRAINT FORCES. /HSL/
