Abstract

A new deformable model for the side impact dummy EUROSID-1 is described, which is based on existing finite model for European dummy. The model incorporates new meshes for key components as well as detailed viscoelastic material descriptions. Various material, component and sled test results were used to calibrate and validate the model, providing a more accurate evaluation of the dummy performance than previous studies which were limited to certification and sled tests [1,2]. This paper presents various features of the dummy models and some key results of the validation work. The models were realized in the explicit finite element code PAM-CRASH [3].
