Validation of the MADYMO Hybrid II and Hybrid III 50th percentile models in vertical impacts
conference paper
This paper describes the results of a project conducted by Simula Technologies, Inc. and TNO to validate TNO computer models of 50th-percentile Hybrid II and Hybrid III test dummies when used in a vertical crash condition. Drop tests were conducted at Simula utilizing military impact conditions for helicopter seat certification. After the tests were conducted, computer models of the simulation were made using the MADYMO 3D Crash Victim Simulation program and the test results were compared. The model showed good correlation to the tests in the parameters of interest.
