Informal Group on GTR 9-Phase 2 | Session 7 | 3 Jul 2013
WebEx Teleconference
Agenda Item 7.1.
Information on the different approaches to derive the injury criteria / impactor thresholds

Mr. Takahashi shortly presented document GTR9-7-07. He explained that this was considered to be a kind of homework from the last meeting to meet a respective request from NHTSA. Mr. Zander added that he also had provided the requested information to NHTSA on a bilateral basis. NHTSA had agreed that it may not be needed to provide all these details again to the whole group.

Dr. Konosu presented document GTR9-7-08 on behalf of JASIC. JASIC developed a FlexPLI master leg FE model. Then, it was confirmed that the model has a good correlation with the human FE model. Moreover, it was found that there is no need to modify the current threshold values for the FlexPLI master leg level. Mr. Zander replied to not see a good correlation. Dr. Konosu replied that JASIC believes that the model has a good correlation. However, JASIC does not want to argue this. No further comments were received on this.
