TNO Wegtransportmiddelen (author), Happee, R. (author), Kant, A.R. (author), Abramoski, E. (author), Feustel, J. (author)It has been shown that the design of the Hybrid III dummy's hip joint can cause high spikes in the chest accelerations. These spikes are generated when the pelvis rotation is suddenly stopped by the bottoming out of the hip joint. This creates large lumbar shear and tension forces which act to resist forward movement of the dummy's chest. This...conference paper 1998
