Abstract

This paper presents a lumped-parameter approach to modeling frontal offset impacts. Applications for offset models are discussed, including providing inputs to occupant simulations. The role of discretization errors, nonuniaxial motions, and test data dependence and sensitivity in limiting model accuracy are discussed. Extensions to the modeling methodology that will better support offset events are identified.
