Abstract

In this study, side airbag deployment tests were conducted on the EUROSID-1, with a Hybrid III arm, and on cadavers. The goal was to generate biomechanical data on the upper extremity during static deployment. The belted subject, was tested on the driver side, forearm on the window sill, and on the passenger side, forearm on the armrest. Angular velocities and accelerations, and dummy internal loads were measured. Forces measured on the dummy arm and shoulder were lower than the loads required for fracture. In one case, a hand injury was observed. The dummy upper extremity and the cadaver upper extremity kinematics were widely different. (A)
