Abstract

A major consideration for passive restraints is the accommodation of a range of driver masses in conjunction with a range of impact speeds. A particular velocity-sensitive absorber is introduced that is intended to provide the required dissipation within currently recommended force limits. It is shown that retention of current typical compartment dimensions suggests that the stroke required at speeds near 60 mph. will be difficult to accommodate.
