Head
The head is largely made from synthetics. The head cavity is large enough to allow
use of several instruments, including linear accelerometers and angular velocity
sensors.
Neck
The neck is flexible and allows shear and bending in all directions. The segmented
design allows a realistic rotational behavior. The neck is equipped with low stretch
neck-cord in order to prevent excessive elongation. The neck-cord is also
designed to act as a safety cord in case of rubber failure. A six channel load cell
can be mounted at the neck-head and neck-torso interface.
Thorax
The thorax of the child is represented by a single rib cage. The deformation can
be measured with an IR-TRACC (Infra-Red Telescoping Rod for Assessment of
Chest Compression) sensor. The shoulders are connected with a flexible joint to
the thorax, allowing deformation forward. Accelerometers can be mounted on
the spine to measure linear accelerations.
Abdomen
The abdomen is foam covered with skin. Biomechanical data from children has
been used to determine the required stiffness.
Lumbar Spine
The lumbar spine is a flexible rubber column, with a steel cable, which allows
shear and bending in all directions. A six channel load cell can be mounted
between the lumbar spine and the pelvis.
