Human Head Impact Analysis using a Voxel Model

In this paper, energy absorption characteristics of PVB laminated windshield subject to human head impact are studied. SHPB method is carried out to obtain the constitutive relationships of PVB laminated glass in dynamic behavior. With the SHPB results embedded, finite element simulation is used to study the dynamic behavior of PVB laminated windshield. In particular, energy absorption characteristics are investigated. Two parameters for measuring the energy absorption property of windshield are suggested, i.e. loss of head velocity and HIC value and a parametric study is carried out to see the effect of impact velocity and impact position. Results can shed lights on the research of energy absorption capability of PVB laminated windshield.

Air Bag

In this study, dynamic impact analysis for the passenger air-bag(PAB) module has been carried out by using FEM to predict the dynamic characteristics of vehicle ride safety against head impact. To carry out the dynamic analysis of head impact test of the PAB module assembly of automobile, the FE models, which are consist of instrument panel, PAB Module, and head part, are combined to the whole module system. Then, impact analysis is carried out by the explicit solution procedure with assembled FE model. And the dynamic characteristics of the head impact are observed to prove the effectiveness of the proposed method by comparing with the experimental results. As a result, the better optimized impact characteristics are proposed by changing the tie bracket's width and thickness of module. The proposed approach of impact analysis will provides an efficient vehicle to improve the design quality and reduce the design period and cost.

Front Passenger

This study presents the automotive instrument panel (IP) design in order to improve the quality, cost, and safety of the existing design. A few conceptual designs were generated based on safety aspect and ergonomic design. The most suitable design was selected using concepts scoring. The IP head impact simulation was conducted using finite element analysis (FEA) to predict the head injury criterion (HIC) value of the front passenger in vehicle according to ECE-R21 regulation. The finite element (FE) model, which consist of upper IP, lower IP, carrier structure and head-form, was built-up to carry out head impact analysis of the IP assembly. The optimum IP design was proposed by analysis of different materials, which are 20% talc filled rubber modified polypropylene (PP+EPDM-TD20), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) polymer, and polypropylene (PP) copolymer. The HIC value for all IP was compared using simulation result and theoretical calculation. The lowest HIC value will reduce the head occupant injury. In this study, only the raw material cost was considered in cost evaluation. The IP from ABS polymer performed the lowest HIC value, which were 179.7 but very costly compare to other materials.
