PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF NEW GENERATION 50TH PERCENTILE ANTHROPOMORPHIC TEST DEVICES - VOLUME II - ACCELERATOR SLED TEST DATA

Four sled test configurations were employed to evaluate the dynamic performance repeatability of the GM 50X dummy. Type 2 belt, pre-inflated air bag, energy absorbing steering column, and Type 1 belt with simulated instrument panel test environments were utilized to measure the performance of two identically fabricated dummies. The graphical results of a statistical analysis are presented. In addition, graphical results of the energy absorbing steering column and simulated instrument panel tests of the GM 50X dummies are presented in raw form.
