Abstract

An analysis of the Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Association (MVMA) sponsored full scale side impact tests of modified Ford LTDs indicated that the high, nonhuman- like inertia of the dummy chest had profound influence over the dummy responses. In particular, energy absorbing padding was always crushed by the inertial force when the door impacted the dummy.
