RESTRAINT SYSTEM OPTIMIZATION FOR DUAL TEST CONFIGURATIONS OF FRONTAL CRASHES. IN: CAE METHODS FOR VEHICLE CRASHWORTHINESS AND OCCUPANT SAFETY, AND SAFETY-CRITICAL SYSTEMS

Numerical relations between occupant restraint systems and injury indexes were investigated by multi-parameter optimization of an integrated restraint system model of frontal crash simulations. This paper proposes a method of optimizing restraint systems in 2 types of test configurations: a 35-mph full overlap crash model and a 40-mph, 40%-offset crash model.
