Analysis of Dummy Injury with Respect to Vehicle Pitching

This study constructed CAE models to evaluate the effects of pitching on injury in a 56 kph frontal collision. Considering the pitch angle of the vehicle, the authors created four CAE models with different steering‐wheel angles from the original model. Through an analysis model the authors studied the pitching impact on the injuries to head, neck and chest. The head injury result of the 5 degree case model shows the highest HIC. The CAE result shows that the injuries to the dummy’s neck part in the 5 degree case model were the most severe. From the CAE results, it is clear that the chest deflections of the 2.5 degree model were the highest. The dummy chest injuries were inverse proportional to the vehicle pitching angle and were caused by the airbag impacting. The injuries of the head and neck were proportional to an increase in the vehicle pitching angle increase, while the chest deflection value was inversely proportional to it. In order to study these injuries further, the authors compared the injuries of all cases.
