DEVELOPMENT OF SIMILARITY SCORING TECHNIQUES FOR MOTOR VEHICLE CRASH COMPARISONS
… systems. This research showed that side and knee bolster airbags reduce injury severity for specific body regions in real-world motor vehicle crashes. Mahalanobis scoring revealed that NASS-CDS cases were most similar to FMVSS 214 crash tests and were least similar to IIHS frontal crash …

Biomechanical Responses of Human Surrogates under Various Frontal Loading Conditions with an Emphasis on Thoracic Response and Injury Tolerance
… tested under three safety restraint conditions: knee bolster (KB), KB and steering wheel airbag (KB/SWAB), and knee bolster airbag and SWAB (KBAB/SWAB). The kinematic, lower extremity, abdominal, thoracic, and neck responses were then compared between surrogates and restraint conditions. In order …

Structural Optimization of Thin Walled Tubular Structure for Crashworthiness
… column, and occupant protection devices like the knee bolster should all exhibit controlled deformation and collapse behavior. This investigation introduces a methodology to design dynamically crushed thin-walled tubular structures for crashworthiness applications. Due to their low cost, high …
