TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Two-dimensional degenerated model of next-generation crash test dummy THOR 5F JO - International journal of automotive engineering A1 - Kurano, Yutaro A1 - Hikida, Kazuki A1 - Hibara, Shinya A1 - Kawamura, Yasushi A1 - Maehara, Kazunori A1 - Narukawa, Terumasa SP - 94 EP - 100 VL - 11 IS - 3 N2 - The purpose of the present research is to enable verification of occupant protection performance, including neck injury, under full-width frontal crash test conditions, using a THOR 5F dummy during the primary phase of automobile development. A THOR 5F neck injury would be considered as important as that of a Hybrid III dummy. To achieve this purpose, a two-dimensional degenerated model was formulated by combining a neck element with a four-rigid-body model consisting of a head, upper body, sternum, and lower body. It was observed that the obtained results were similar to those of the finite element method.
