Requirement
To pass the certification requirements for frontal thoracic impact:
1.
The impactor velocity should be between 4.2 and 4.4 m/s.
2.
The maximum thorax deflection should be between 21.5 and 26.5 mm.
3.
The force at the maximum deflection should be between 1.15 and 1.45 kN.
Lateral Impact Thorax Test
Instrumentation
The dummy does not need to be equipped with the standard IR-TRACC to measure
the chest displacement. CAUTION! It is recommended to remove the IR-TRACC
from the dummy or to mount it in the side impact position. Do not leave the IR-
TRACC in its “frontal” test position, as the side impact test can cause damage to
the IR-TRACC.
Use the 5.30 kg test probe as described in section 7.2 equipped with an
accelerometer mounted along the impactor’s longitudinal centerline to measure
the impact deceleration.
The impact velocity must be measured and recorded. This can be done with the
speed vane on the test probe.
Test procedure
1.
Dummy positioning
Put the suit on the dummy and roll down the top half of the suit to expose
the rib.
The dummy should be seated on a clean dry surface consisting of two flat
Teflon sheets that are approximately 0.76 m (30”) x 0.56 m (22”) x 2mm.
Place the dummy with its thoracic spine in a vertical orientation, within ±1
degree with the vertical. To stabilize the sitting position of the dummy,
rotate the upper legs outwards (toes point outwards), and place the legs
in a V-shape. The angle between the feet is not important, but slightly
passed shoulder length apart tends to improve dummy stability.
