Abstract

The MIRA Free-Flight Headform Rig was designed to offer a convenient way of simulating occupant head impacts (for Interior Protection legislative requirements) on the interior surfaces of vehicle passenger compartments. The paper details the development of the rig and outlines new applications in the fields of occupant side impact and pedestrian head impact.
