Abstract

Neck biofidelity performance requirements for different sized crash dummies and human body computer models are usually based on scaling of performance requirements derived for a 50th percentile body size. The validity of the currently used scaling laws for the human neck in case of side impacts was investigated. Based on an analysis of human volunteer tests carried out by the Naval Biodynamics Laboratory in New Orleans, new criteria are presented deviating from the criteria resulting from geometrical scaling laws. For the covering abstract see ITRD E144229.
