The virtual estimation of physical product properties is only as good as the virtual description of the behaviour of its material. On the one hand there are well known material cards like *MAT_PIECEWISE_LINEAR_PLASTICITY in LS-DYNA© ...

This paper describes hip sliding mechanisms for seating comfort evaluation using a human FE model (THUMS). From a rigid seat experiment, combined with THUMS simulation, it was first found that the backward moment around the hip centre ...

This presentation of the study includes background-objectives, material modeling as well as validation and a conclusion.

The lower limb is one of the most frequently injured body regions in crashes involving pedestrians. A biofidelic FLEXible-Pedestrian Legform Impactor Global Technical Regulations (FLEX-PLI GTR) device has been developed under ...

The need for accurate validated dummy models is growing more and more. This paper describes the latest investigations for validating the FAT and PDB dummy models. New validation test results are shown and the latest releases of the ...

A substantial prerequisite for the performance of airbag modules during collisions is the structural integrity of all module components. This paper focuses on integrity assessment of passenger airbag module housings during deployment ...

The development of occupant safety systems does not only require an accurate numerical In-Position model but also an Out-of-Position (OoP) simulation model. To meet the needs of OoP simulation Takata-Petri developed an advanced ...

Die derzeitigen Ansprüche an die Aussagegüte einer Insassensimulation im Frontcrash fordern ein Dummymodell, welches als Messinstrument in der Lage sein muss, sowohl Verletzungskriterien als auch Interaktionen mit den ...

Uncoated fabrics will continue to have a major market share in airbag applications in the future. The reasons are smaller package size, easier recycling and reduced material cost. In order to achieve proper prediction of performance ...

From February 2009 Euro NCAP (European New Car Assessment Program) has introduced a new overall safety rating for cars. This revised rating with a maximum award of five stars shall take real life safety more into consideration and ...
