WS | Session 6 | 8 Jun 2011

The Medical College of Wisconsin reported on the side impact sled work being conducted using a new, sophisticated instrumented wall system that adjusts to the PMHS or dummy anthropometry. The focus of the study is oblique responses in specific body regions, since oblique responses result in greater injury metrics than pure lateral. In the first phase of testing, chest bands were used to compare loading of the PMHS and dummy. Further testing will be conducted to develop biofidelity characteristics, develop PHS response corridors, and assess WorldSIDs potential to sense injury metrics using deflection sensors.
