Crash Test Dummies
“You have to consider that a test dummy basically motivates all restraint design,
whether belts or airbags”-Rolf Eppinger,
Chief of the National Transportation Biomechanics Research Center

Goals of test dummies
• Human like• Determine injuries
which will occur• Consistent• Resilient

History - 1930s
• Car crash fatalities are on the rise
• The inside of a car is a very dangerous place
• Automobile makers start to think about safety
BUT NO DATA !!
![Page 5: Crash Test Dummies - McMaster Universityibruce/courses/EE3BA3_2005/EE3BA3... · Crash Test Dummies “You have to consider that a test dummy basically motivates all restraint design,](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030403/5a7907397f8b9a07628b7d45/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

History - Cadaver Testing
• Test to see what the body can withstand
– i.e. Crushing and tearing forces
• Tests Conducted:- steel ball-bearings dropped on skull- body thrown down elevator shafts- cadavers subjected to crashes and roll
overs
![Page 6: Crash Test Dummies - McMaster Universityibruce/courses/EE3BA3_2005/EE3BA3... · Crash Test Dummies “You have to consider that a test dummy basically motivates all restraint design,](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030403/5a7907397f8b9a07628b7d45/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

History - Cadaver Testing
Problems:• Most cadavers from elderly Caucasian
males• Couldn’t use accident victims• No two cadavers are the same• Child cadavers hard to obtain
Improvements are made but new data acquired from these tests is scarce…
Researchers look elsewhere…
![Page 7: Crash Test Dummies - McMaster Universityibruce/courses/EE3BA3_2005/EE3BA3... · Crash Test Dummies “You have to consider that a test dummy basically motivates all restraint design,](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030403/5a7907397f8b9a07628b7d45/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

History- Animal Testing
• Primarily used pigs– Similar internal structure– Can be put in a seated position
• Studied impalement by steering column and decapitation
• Information helped redesign the interior of the cabin– Dashboard padding - Too hard or too soft?– Levers, knobs, buttons - Placement?– Rearview mirror - Stiffness?
![Page 8: Crash Test Dummies - McMaster Universityibruce/courses/EE3BA3_2005/EE3BA3... · Crash Test Dummies “You have to consider that a test dummy basically motivates all restraint design,](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030403/5a7907397f8b9a07628b7d45/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

History- Animal Testing
Animal testing gathered useful data BUT- Opposition from Animal Rights groups- PIGS ARE NOT HUMANS!!
Again researchers looked to other solutions…

History - Sierra Sam• 1949 - Introduce Sierra Sam,
the original crash test dummy– Designed from information gathered
from cadaver and animal testing– Tested aircraft ejection seats
• The creator of Sierra Sam went on to create Sierra Stan and the VIP-50 crash test dummies– Inconsistent results– Unreliable
GM needs something better…
![Page 10: Crash Test Dummies - McMaster Universityibruce/courses/EE3BA3_2005/EE3BA3... · Crash Test Dummies “You have to consider that a test dummy basically motivates all restraint design,](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030403/5a7907397f8b9a07628b7d45/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
History - Hybrid I• 1971 - GM Introduces Hybrid I
– 50th percentile male dummy– Combines best features from VIP-50 and
Sierra Stan– More durable– More consistent results
• Problems:– Data acquired doesn’t give enough insight into how
to reduce injury.– Can only test effectiveness of restraint
![Page 11: Crash Test Dummies - McMaster Universityibruce/courses/EE3BA3_2005/EE3BA3... · Crash Test Dummies “You have to consider that a test dummy basically motivates all restraint design,](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030403/5a7907397f8b9a07628b7d45/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
History - Hybrid II• 1972- Hybrid II
– Improved response in knee, spine and shoulder
– Better documentation– First dummy to meet the
requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
Responses still not human enough!!Hybrid I & II still of limited use…

History - GM gets serious• Research sitting position in cars
– i.e. relationship of posture to eye position• Test different materials• Research value of adding internal
elements– Ex. Rib cage
• Biomechanical data helps determine ideal stiffness of materials
• Better production machinery– More accurate, reliable dummies
![Page 13: Crash Test Dummies - McMaster Universityibruce/courses/EE3BA3_2005/EE3BA3... · Crash Test Dummies “You have to consider that a test dummy basically motivates all restraint design,](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030403/5a7907397f8b9a07628b7d45/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

History - Hybrid III• 1976 - GM introduces Hybrid III, 50th
percentile male– New neck & thorax– More transducers -- better data collection– Industry Standard
• Hybrid III becomes a family man– Big brother, 95th percentile male– 5th percentile female– 3 & 6 year old child dummies– CRABI - baby dummy
![Page 14: Crash Test Dummies - McMaster Universityibruce/courses/EE3BA3_2005/EE3BA3... · Crash Test Dummies “You have to consider that a test dummy basically motivates all restraint design,](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030403/5a7907397f8b9a07628b7d45/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Present Day - Dummy Varieties• Hybrid III family - Frontal impact dummies• SID - Side Impact Dummy
– Measures effect on spine, ribs and internal organs
• BioRID - Rear Impact Dummy– More sophisticated spine & neck– More natural seating position– Primarily used to study whiplash
• CRABI - child dummy (6,12& 18 months)– Tests effectiveness of child restraints– Studies effect of airbag on a child
• THOR - 50th percentile male– Most up-to-date model– More later…

• Success with individual body systems• Extremely repeatable tests

Future of Crash Testing
3. Electronic Airbag sensors• Records events of the crash• Real world data• Every crash provides data to keep others
safe• Helps improve dummies, simulations and
other tests• Eventually, sensors all around the car
