Abstract

This paper includes simulations of interactions between a hemispherical solid object and an air bag under different conditions with an increasing order of complexity. Finite element simulation of the events was performed to compute the accelerations and velocities of the impacting objects and the air bag pressure. Laboratory experiments of analogous events were done independently to validate the simulation.
