Scaling of neck performance requirements in side impacts
conference paper
Neck biofidelity performance requirements for different sized crash dummies and human body computer models are usually based on scaling of performance requirements derived for a 50th percentile body size. The objective of this study is to investigate the validity of the currently used scaling laws for the human neck in case of side impacts. Based on an analysis of human volunteer tests carried out by the Naval Biodynamics Laboratory in New Orleans, new criteria are presented deviating from the criteria resulting from geometrical scaling laws as proposed by Irwin et al. (2002).
