Abstract
Inflatable restraint systems have significant roles in the protection of the vehicle occupants during an accident. The performance of these components directly depends on the parameters of the cushion. An airbag vent is somehow an exhaust which releases gases within the airbag to the ambient. The diameter of the vent is a parameter in adjustment of the head injury criterion (HIC) of the airbag. In this research, a head form testing apparatus has been developed in order to perform the head impact test on deployed airbags in simulation validation procedure. A number of experimental and FEM head form tests are executed so as to endorse the accuracy of the FEM simulation through the validation procedure. The validated FEM model is utilised to analyse the effectiveness of the diameter of the vent in HIC of the airbag. An optimum value for vent diameter is obtained from the results of FEM tests.
期刊介绍：
The IJVS aims to provide a refereed and authoritative source of information in the field of vehicle safety design, research, and development. It serves applied scientists, engineers, policy makers and safety advocates with a platform to develop, promote, and coordinate the science, technology and practice of vehicle safety. IJVS also seeks to establish channels of communication between industry and academy, industry and government in the field of vehicle safety. IJVS is published quarterly. It covers the subjects of passive and active safety in road traffic as well as traffic related public health issues, from impact biomechanics to vehicle crashworthiness, and from crash avoidance to intelligent highway systems.
