IMPACT ON PLANAR KINEMATIC CHAIN OF RIGID BODIES: APPLICATION TO MOVEMENTS OF ANTHROPOMETRIC DUMMY IN A CRASH

Numerical simulation of crash phenomena in rigid multi-body approach brings up problems when the various bodies constituting the mechanical system come into contact. The planar modeling of contact requires bodies' geometry to be taken into account. The method used permits the simultaneous management of constraints due to their contact and to kinematic joints, by introduction of holonomic constraints and validated on biomechanical applications. The results arising from a numerical model and from a sled test are compared.
