Abstract

Laboratory force-deflection tests were conducted on passenger vehicle seats, foreign and domestic, for purposes of evaluating specific resistance to a collision environment and mechanics of collision induced seat distortion. Design concepts are presented that would serve to mitigate undesirable seat distortion during collision and thus improve seat restraint capabilities without compromising the important factors of comfort and cost.
