A Parametric Study of Submarining for Obese Female Passengers using Morphed Human Body Models
In frontal crashes, obese occupants frequently suffer from submarining injuries due to out‐of‐position belt fittings. To improve safety restraints for the specific body physique, a FE Human Body Model (HBM) is effective since it is highly bio‐fidelic. In this research, an HBM was validated through comparison with two cadaver tests. For it, the 50th percentile male was scaled to a female size and the abdominal area was morphed to represent the obesity. Moreover, submarining conditions were successfully found through a parametric study using the validated model.
