Abstract

The objectives of this research are to propose a new impact response corridor of the International Standards Organization (ISO) legform impactor, and to understand the biofidelity of the current legform impactors developed by the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL, UK) and the Japan Automobile Research Institute (JARI). The latest data obtained from Post Mortem Human Subject (PMHS) knee impact test were analyzed tor the proposal, and biofidelity legform impact tests were conducted using current legform impactors. New normalized biofidelic corridors of impact force that correspond to AM50 are proposed. The impact test results indicate that the current legform impactors do not have human knee biofidelity. The current legform impactor design should be improved with respect to the biofidelic response. (A)
