Abstract and keywords

THOR 5th percentile female dummy was evaluated in a well-controlled 30 km/h frontal impact test condition that utilized a 9g deceleration and 3-point force-limited restraint. The pelvis and lower extremities were constrained in order to study the upper torso kinematics and thoracic deflections. BioRank scores were calculated using the NHTSA BioRank method. The biofidelity evaluation results showed “good” to “excellent” biofidelity for the dummy responses in head, spine and pelvis kinematics, and thorax deflections.

Keywords: biofidelity; BioRank; sled; 5th percentile female dummy; THOR-05F
