| A new dynamic model of Crash-Victim-Simulation is presented. The model consists of a series of rigid bodies representing the segments--head, neck, thorax, ;The dynamics response to a sled test under frontal impact is simulated. Good agreement with experimental data is obtained.;A user-oriented computer program, UCIN-CVS-PC, runnable on personal computer, incorporating the crash-victim-simulation model was also developed. The program, accompanied with a special drawing routine, can not only predict the kinematics and dynamics of occupant during crashes or periods of high acceleration but also do curve display and animated motion display on screen. |
