Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 醫學工程學系 === 84 === Computational simulations have been wildly adopted in the
automobile safety design process. But most of these simulation
programs are developed for special conditions or purposes which
are they lack the flexibility to simulate the complex
situations in vehicle accident. The purpose of this study is to
simulate the dynamic response of the driver within a frontal
impacted vehicle by using the commercial available FEM package-
MARC. A 3D human finite element model with 11 segments are
established with the geometry and inertial properties from
Hybrid dummy. Two types of joints, hinge joints and ball and
socket joints, are employed to match the human joints. The
outcomes shows the match in trend of the dynamic responses
between the finite element analysis and sled test from other
researches. The numerical values do show some difference
between these two approaches and the reasons may be the
parameter and loading values of the analysis input. Different
input conditions, e.g., with and without safety belts, are then
studied and discussed to show the capabilities in the finite
element human model.
