Abstract

A PC based interactive program was developed to simulate the unfolding and deploying process of a driver side airbag in the sagittal plane. The airbag is represented by a series of nodes. The maximum allowable stretch was less or equal to one between any two nodes. It is assumed that the airbag unfolding was pivoted about folded points. After the completion of the unfolding process the airbag would begin to deploy. During the deploying process, two parameters are used to determine the nodal priority of the inflation.
