TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - A simulation study on the influence of polypropylene bumper on pedestrian lower leg injuries JO - Chinese journal of automotive engineering A1 - Wan, Xinming A1 - Fan, Tiqiang A1 - Wei, Lixia A1 - Ma, Mingtu SP - 24 EP - 29 VL - IS - N2 - Pedestrian lower leg injury is one of the most common injury forms in pedestrian traffic accident. The paper studied the pedestrian lower leg injuries impacted by a vehicle polypropylene(PP) bumper which meets the requirements of recycling and lightweight vehicles, and whose performance is better than the general homopolymerize PP or co-polymerization PP. Based on finite element method, the paper developed a simplified model and proved the feasibility of replacing the traditional bumper with the Polypropylene one.
