Abstract

This paper describes the development of a Dynamic Door Component Test Methodology (DDCTM) for side impact simulation. A feasibility study of the methodology was conducted using a MADYMO computer model by taking parameters such as pre-crush, door-to-SID (Side Impact Dummy) contact velocity and the decelaration profile into consideration. The prove-out tests of this methodology was carried out on a dynamic test facility. The DDCTM has been validated for various carlines. In addition, various existing dynamic component test methods are reviewed. The DDTCM significantly reduces the time and resources required for developing improved side impact protection systems, including new door/trim, side air bag systems and padding material evaluation.
