Abstract

In contrast to the other types of crash simulation, integrated analysis is needed to perform the side impact simulation, and the acquired injury values are so sensitive that they are difficult to assess by the deformed vehicle structure itself. Accurate

FE Euro-side impact dummy (Euro-SID) model is needed to predict the various injury values in euro-side impact simulation. In the past, rigid body model and coarse FE model have been used. The advantage of these models is low computing power. By the way, they have lack of injury predictability in integrated simulations. The deviations are caused by inaccurate geometry and improper material characteristic expression for individual components. Therefore, new euro- side impact dummy model is developed through mass(inertia), component and sled validation. In this paper, validation results are illustrated, and their application results in two kinds of full car simulations are introduced. Also, the results which are to analyze the effect of rib impact position, RDC transition according to intrusion conditions of sled and the injury variance according to phase difference between rib and abdomen are included.
