TWO-DIMENSIONAL COMPUTER SIMULATIONS OF OCCUPANT KINEMATICS IN A VARIETY OF REAREND COLLISIONS ARE UTILIZED TO PROVIDE INITIAL PERFORMANCE CRITERIA FOR HEAD RESTRAINT DESIGN CONFIGURATIONS. THE RESULTING PROTOTYPE SYSTEM UNDERWENT A TEST AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM ON AN IMPACT SLED.

THIS STUDY IS PART OF A RESEARCH PROGRAM WHICH AIMS TO DEVELOP A LAMINATED GLASS WINDSHIELD WHOSE LACERATION POTENTIAL IS VERY WEAK AND EVEN ALMOST NONEXISTENT. TWO TYPES OF NEW SAFETY WINDSHIELDS ARE TESTED. THEY DIFFER ONLY BY THE STRENGTHENING LEVEL OF THE V. H. R..GLASS WHICH IS USED. IN BOTH CASES, THE VERY THIN 0.050 IN. (1.2 MM) THICK INNER SHEET AND THE 0.110 IN. (2.8 MM) THICK OUTER SHEET ARE MADE OF V. H. R. GLASS. NEVERTHELESS, THE GLASS OF THE OUTER PLY HAS A DELIBERATELY LIMITED TENSILE STRENGTH. THE POLYVINYLBUTYRAL PLASTIC INTERLAYER IS 0.030 IN (0.76 MM) THICK. THE EVALUATION OF THE BIOMECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF THESE WINDSHIELDS IS MADE IN DIFFERENT WAYS, AMONG THEM A LABORATORY STUDY WHICH INCLUDES IMPACT TESTS WITH A HEADFORM FREE FALLING ON POSITIONED SAMPLES. THE EXPERIMENTAL PARAMETERS PARTICULARLY STUDIED ARE: TEMPERATURE, IMPACT VELOCITY, IMPACT LOCATION, INCREASE OF THE MECHANICAL STRENGTH OF THE SHEETS. /SAE/
这项研究是一个研究项目的一部分,该项目旨在开发一种夹层玻璃挡风玻璃,这种玻璃的撕裂潜力非常弱,甚至几乎不存在。测试了两种新型安全挡风玻璃。它们的区别仅仅在于所使用的v. h. r .玻璃的强化程度不同。在这两种情况下,非常薄的0.050英寸。(1.2毫米)厚的内板和0.110英寸。(2.8毫米)厚的外层由v. h. r.玻璃制成。然而,外层的玻璃有一个故意限制的抗拉强度。聚乙烯丁醛塑料夹层厚度为0.030英寸(0.76毫米)。对这些挡风玻璃的生物力学行为进行了不同方式的评估,其中包括实验室研究,其中包括头部自由落体对定位样品的冲击试验。重点研究了温度、冲击速度、冲击位置、板材机械强度的增加等实验参数。/ SAE /

STARTING WITH TWO-DIMENSIONAL COMPUTER SIMULATIONS OF FRONT SEAT OCCUPANT KINEMATICS IN REAR-END COLLISIONS, INITIAL PERFORMANCE CRITERIA FOR DEPLOYMENT TIMES, AND RESTRAINT CONFIGURATIONS WERE DETERMINED FOR VARIOUS IMPACT VELOCITIES. BASED ON THESE CRITERIA, TWO TYPES OF DEPLOYABLE SYSTEMS WERE DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED, ONE AN INFLATABLE SYSTEM AND THE OTHER A RIGID SLIDING SYSTEM. THESE PROTOTYPE SYSTEMS THEN UNDERWENT A TEST AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM USING ANTHROPOMORPHIC DUMMIES AND AN IMPACT SLED. THE TEST PROGRAM EVALUATED THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE HEAD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS UNDER HIGH- AND LOW-SPEED CRASH SIMULATIONS. IN ADDITION, TESTS WERE PERFORMED TO STUDY THE EFFECT OF RESTRAINT DEPLOYMENT ON THE MALPOSITIONED OCCUPANT. THE RESULTS OF THE TEST PROGRAM ARE DISCUSSED AND COMPARISONS ARE MADE BETWEEN THE TWO PROTOTYPE SYSTEMS AND EXISTING HEAD RESTRAINT DESIGNS. /SAE/

THE ABREVIATED INJURY SCALE (AIS); INTRODUCED IN JANUARY, 1968; HAS BEEN WIDELY USE BY THE MEDICAL ENGINEERING ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION TEAMS OF THE NHTSA, BY THE GENERAL MOTORS ADAP, BY THE NATO COUNTRY TEAMS IN EUROPE, AND BY THE AMA PHYSICIAN-POLICE TEAMS. THE EXPERIENCE AND PROBLEMS IN USE OF THE AIS ARE REVIEWED. AN EXTENDED AND REVISED AIS HAS BEEN DEVELOPED. VALIDATION STUDIES REVEALED BETTER THAN 80% ACCURACY BY MULTIPLE USERS. THE COMPREHENSIVE RESEARCH INJURY SCALE (CRIS) HAS BEEN COMPLETED FOR ALL MAJOR MEDICAL SPECIALTIES. THE CRIS SEPARATES THE VARIOUS CRITERIA (ENERGY DISSIPATION-ED, THREAT TO LIFE-TL, PERMANENT IMPAIRMENT-PI, TREATMENT PERIOD-TP, INCIDENCE-IN) USED WITH VARIABLE QUANTITIES AND FREQUENCIES IN THE AIS. THE CRIS IDENTIFIES AND QUANTITATES EACH SCALING CRITERIA PERMITTING MORE MEANINGFUL AND DETAILED APPLICATION OF THE AIS. /AUTHOR/

THE OBJECT HAS BEEN TO DEVELOP A QUANTITATIVE DESCRIPTION OF THE MOBILITY OF THE HUMAN TORSO, INCLUDING THE SHOULDER GIRDLE, NECK, THORACIC AND LUMBAR VERTEBRAL COLUMN, AND PELVIS. THIS HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED BY A SYSTEMATIC MULTIDISCIPLINARY INVESTIGATION INVOLVING TECHNIQUES OF CADAVER DISSECTION AND MEASUREMENT, UTILIZING CINERADIOFLUOROSCOPY FOR JOINT CENTER OF ROTATION LOCATION, ANTHROPOMETRY, RADIOGRAPHY AND PHOTOGRAMMETRY FOR SELECTED POSITIONS AND MOTIONS OF LIVING SUBJECTS, AND COMPUTER ANALYSIS. THE MAJOR RESULTS OF THE STUDY ARE PREDICTION EQUATIONS AND GRAPHS DESCRIBING HOW THE BASE OF THE SPINE REFERENCE POINT (FIFTH LUMBAR SPINAL SURFACE MARKER) MOVES IN RELATION TO DEFINED SEATED AND STANDING REFERENCE POINTS FOR GIVEN REACHES, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNIQUES BY WHICH THE LENGTHS AND EXCURSIONS OF TORSO AND LIMB LINKS MAY BE ESTIMTED AND LOCATED.
