Abstract:The influence of cervical muscles on the head/neck responses to frontal collisions is an important issue in the design of vehicle safety systems. In this study, spring-type muscles based on a Hybrid III 50th percentile dummy were used. A spring was used to simulate the cervical muscle with the instinctual physiological reaction of a driver. A total of 10 volunteers were recruited for the simulated collision tests and the maximum voluntary contraction tests, and test data were used to establish and design the s… Show more
