Abstract

The performance of crash protective seat belts can be improved by the incorporation of energy absorbers which allow the restraint to yield at constant loud. Mathematical models are produced to show the effects of slack and yield on restraints designed for maximum body loadings of 12 and 20 g. Under these conditions is shown that yielding systems reduce sensitivity to slack.
