A Development of Child FEM Model - Part III:Basic Study of Impact Behavior Simulation for 6-year-old Child Using Child Restraint System

Abstract

Six-year-old child FEM Model was developed for the analysis of impact behavior of child. In this paper, impact behavior simulation for 6-year-old child was performed applying the acceleration field at frontal car crash impact to the 6-year-old child model in child restraint system. Head locus, head angle and head angular velocity of child FEM model simulation were compared with those of child cadaver testing.
