Key words: Multi body simulation, anthropomorphic model, pedestrian - vehicle crash test, EURONCAP protocol, Biomechanics
The purpose of this work is the achievement of an anthropomorphic model for the virtual simulation of pedestrian - vehicle crash test. "Dummy" construction in Visual Nastran room does possible the preparation of crash test with several vehicle models. Its three-dimensional geometry is implemented by video animation software, extracting the geometry element for element, and its characteristics are in keeping with EURONCAP protocol. Every bodily segment properties (weight, mass center, inertia, etc.) are determined using the reference material on the movement biomechanics. At last fall tests from three different heights are simulated for the "Dummy" validation, obtaining a reliable result.
