Abstract

This research was conducted in the frame of the WorldSID and the SID 2000 projects. The objective was to develop a physical representation of the human pelvis that meets the requirements for a mid-sized male side impact crash test dummy acceptable for worldwide harmonization. Compared to existing dummy designs, the pelvis should better reflect the actual human being in terms of anthropometry and dynamic behavior in lateral loading conditions. It should also offer enhanced injury assessment capabilities and durability.
