MADYMO FE human body model for automotive impact conditions
conference paper
This paper presents a MADYMO finite element model of the 50th percentile male, which was specifically developed as a virtual testing tool for automotive occupant safety. The mesh was based on the digitised geometry of a human subject in seated position to ensure the correct positioning of the internal organs. The biofidelity of the model was evaluated in simulations of volunteer as well as PMHS impacts tests, which indicated that the model accurately predicts the kinematic response of the human body in automotive impact. The model can be used to gain more insight in the response of the human body to automotive impact and to further improve automotive safety devices.
