abstract="The protection of car occupants against side impact accidents needs a better knowledge of injury mechanisms and of tolerance which are necessary to propose protection criteria.  <p>The results of the study reported in this paper give the values of pelvic fracture impact force and indicate the variation of this parameter in relation to the anthropometric parameters.</p>  <p>The injuries produced by these tests were compared to pelvic injuries sustained in side impact real accidents; static tests made with half a pelvis have shown that the pubic rami were the deformed part of the pelvis.</p>  <p>According to these findings, we have tried to correlate the impact force values and the values of a parameter linked with the bending process. This relationship have been found very well correlated. These results allow to propose a pelvic human tolerance parameter from which a protection criterion for pelvis in side impact could be derivated.</p>  <p>Language: en</p>",
