Abstract

The MAMA-2B (Maternal Anthropomorphic Measurement Apparatus, version 2B),a small female Hybrid III pregnant dummy used to study the safety of a fetus and effects of seat belt and airbags has been evaluated and enhanced. Two IR-TRACCs (Infra-Red Telescoping Rod for the Assessment of Chest Compression) have been added to measure the chest deflection. A potentiometer was added to measure the IR-TRACC rotation. Two accelerometers have also been added for the chest Viscous Criterion (V*C) calculation. The water-filled abdomen bladder was evaluated. The center of gravity of the slouch posture of the dummy was estimated. Certification tests were conducted and thecorridors have been proposed. For the covering abstract see ITRD E141569.
