HSRI THREE DIMENSIONAL CRASH VICTIM SIMULATOR: ANALYSIS, VERIFICATION, AND USERS' MANUAL AND PICTORIAL SECTION

THE REPORT DEALS WITH THE DEVELOPMENT AND USE OF MATHEMATICAL MODELS FOR THE SIMULATION OF AUTOMOTIVE OCCUPANT KINEMATICS IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. THIS MODEL WAS DEVELOPED AS A TOOL TO STUDY ADVANCED CONCEPTS AND DESIGNS OF SEAT-RESTRAINT SYSTEMS FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF OCCUPANT PROTECTION. AFTER A DISCUSSION OF THE STATE-OF-THE-ART OF MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF THE CRASH VICTIM, AN ANALYTICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE HSRI THREE-DIMENSIONAL CRASH VICTIM SIMULATOR IS PRESENTED. A DETAILED USERS' MANUAL IS INCLUDED FOR INDIVIDIUALS DESIRING TO UTILIZE THE HSRI CRASH VICTIM SIMULATION. /NTIS/
