文摘

A finite element model of the Hybrid III crash test dummy is developed for computer crash simulations. A description of the major components of the Hybrid III dummy and their finite element representations are given. The results of testing procedures required by the Code of Federal Regulations on the physical dummy are also presented and compared with results obtained from the computer model. The reasonable accuracy obtained from the model makes it useful for crashworthiness simulations when combined with other vehicle and restraint system models.
