Abstract

During the 80's a new type of crash impact dummy, the rotationally symmetrical pedestrian dummy (RSPD), suitable for the assessment of car front aggressiveness in pedestrian impacts was developed. To determine the ultimate resistance to shear force or bending moment of the human knee, it was desirable to make separate experiments, where only one of those two parameters affects the biological material at the time. In this study an experimental method for assessment of the shearing force in the lateral direction at the knee joint has been developed.
