AN OVERVIEW OF EXISTING SENSORS FOR THE HYBRID III ANTHROPOMETRIC DUMMY

The requirements of current automotive testing demand more data than previously afforded by the Hybrid III and Part 572 anthropomorphic dummies. Denton, Inc. has developed a series of multi-component transducers in an effort to provide more complete answers to complex questions of force measurement in controlled and uncontrolled impact testing. In some instances the multi-axis transducers work with other previously developed sensors; in other instances they replace the earlier instruments as bolt-in components that are easily removed for calibration. The specific areas for which multi-component sensors have been produced are: the base of the skull, the lower neck, the thoracic spine, the lumbar spine, the straight spine, the pelvis, the femur, and the lower leg (knee, tibia, ankle-foot assembly).
