A Comparison of the SID-IIs ATD to the Global Human Body Model Consortium Fifth Percentile Female Model in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Updated Side Impact Crash Test (Side 2.0)

This paper will present a study comparing the response of the SID-IIs Anthropomorphic Test Device (ATD) to the Global Human Body Model Consortium fifth percentile female model (GHBMC F05 v5.1) in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) updated side impact crash test (Side 2.0). The study was conducted using a CAE model correlated to a barrier crash test with a small SUV. The occupant kinematics as well as injury response of the SIDIIs was compared to that of the Human Body Model (HBM). The SID-IIs response generally agreed well with the human body model except for clockwise pelvis Z-axis rotation resulting from the ‘M-shaped’ door deformation pattern characteristic of the IIHS Side Impact 2.0 test; additionally, the femur moment measured on the SID-IIs was significantly higher than that measured in the HBM. A CAE model of a simplified bending test was created to study the loading mechanism driving the femur moment responses and clarify the reasons for the differences observed for the HBM and SID-IIs. Through this study it was found that the SID-IIs hip allows for only 10-12 degrees plan view articulation before mechanical joint lockout occurs. In the barrier test the clockwise pelvis rotation of the SID-IIs resulted in the lockout of the hip joint on the SID-IIs. As a result, the femur moment unrealistically increased exponentially compared to that of the HBM after hip joint lockout occurred. As such the SID-IIs as currently designed does not provide a biofidelic response for femur moments and pelvis rotation in the IIHS Side Impact 2.0 test.
