TY - JOUR PY - 2009// TI - Development of a FE model for the lower limb of a pedestrian dummy JO - Transactions of Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan A1 - Takahashi, Yukou A1 - Okamoto, Masayoshi A1 - Kikuchi, Yuji A1 - Akiyama, Akihiko SP - 693 EP - 698 VL - 40 IS - 3 N2 - A FE model for the lower limb of the modified version of a pedestrian dummy developed by the authors for improved biofidelity have been developed. The moment-deflection characteristics of the femur and tibia and the moment-angle characteristics of the knee joint were validated against dynamic 3-point and 4-point bending experiments, respectively. The results of the model validation were quantitatively assessed using a published procedure used for dummy biofidelity evaluation.
