Verhoeve, R. (author), Kant, R. (author), Margerie, L. (author), TNO Wegtransportmiddelen (author)Nowadays virtual testing and prototyping are generally accepted methods in crash safety research and design studies. Validated numerical crash dummy models are necessary tools in these methods. Computer models need to be robust, accurate and CPU efficient, where the balance between accuracy and efficiency is depending on the nature of the study...conference paper 2001

Wismans, J.S.H.M. (author), TNO Wegtransportmiddelen (author)Thorough knowledge of the characteristics of the human body and its behaviour under extreme loading conditions is essential in order to prevent the serious consequences of road and other accidents. This field of research is called injury or impact biomechanics. In order to study the human body response five type of models for the human body can...conference paper 2000

(author), Beusenberg, M. (author)The WorldSID project is a global effort to design a new generation side impact crash test dummy under the direction of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The first WorldSID crash dummy will represent a world-harmonized mid-size adult male. This paper discusses the research and rationale undertaken to define the...conference paper 2000
