TY - JOUR PY - 1979// TI - Femoral loads measured by a six-axis load cell JO - Proceedings: Stapp Car Crash Conference A1 - Cheng, R A1 - Denton, R. A. A1 - King, Albert I. SP - 263 EP - 288 VL - 23 IS - N2 - A six-axis femoral load cell was designed, fabricated, calibrated and tested in an anthropomorphic test device (ATD) upper leg. It has linear characteristics with adequate output and dynamic response. Its output compared well with that of load cells mounted behind a knee bolster which was impacted by an ATD instrumented with this load cell. Although the axial load was found to be well below the present limit of FMVSS208, the bending moments were found to be high.
