TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Development and validation of dummies and human models used in crash test JO - Applied bionics and biomechanics A1 - Xu, Tao A1 - Sheng, Xiaoming A1 - Zhang, Tianyi A1 - Liu, Huan A1 - Liang, Xiao A1 - Ding, Ao SP - e3832850 EP - e3832850 VL - 2018 IS - N2 - The crash test dummy, an important tool for car crash safety tests, is of great significance to explore the injury biomechanics of the occupants and improve the safety performance of the vehicle. The article mainly consists of four parts: brief introduction of injury mechanism, early experiments for obtaining biomechanical response (animal tests, cadaver tests, and volunteer tests), and development and validation of mechanical dummies and computational models. This study finds that the current crash test dummies are generally designed based on European and American, so they have limitations on the damage prediction of other regions. Further research in the crash test dummy needs the participation of various countries in order to develop a crash test dummy that meets the national conditions of each country. Simultaneously, it is necessary to develop dummies of vulnerable groups, such as the elderly dummy and obese people dummy.
