%X To determine human responses and tolerances in lateral collisions, seventeen Heidelberg type cadaveric side impact sled tests, two sled-to-sled tests, and forty-four pendulum tests have been conducted at Wayne State University. In this paper, described is the development of a simplified finite element model of a human occupant in side impact configuration to simulate cadaveric experiments. It is found that there is a fair agreement between model results and experimental data. The model can be used to estimate the current chest injury parameters of an elderly occupant involved in a side impact.   <p>Language: en</p>
