Abstract

This study examines the influence of padding in thorax side impact response under free- flight impact and velocity pulse impact. It was found that padding reduces rib and spine accelerations in both types of impact. It appears that free- flight impact lacks spacing effect and the correct velocity profile to simulate the door /occupant impact in car- to- car side collision.
