Discussion and Conclusion

Discussion and Conclusion

• H350, ES2, ES2-re and Q-series dummy models were updated.
• For H3-50 Express model:
• Mass distribution was adjusted to match FE model.
• Chest stiffness adjusted to achieve better correlation for certification test.
• H3-50 FE Model:
• Noise levels are reduced for H3-50 by modifying spring inertia which in turn helped to
improve correlation.
• ES2 and ES2-re Models:
• Lumbar spine angle was adjusted to position the model in seat according to test setup.
• Adding additional contact and modifying pelvis and rib material improved correlation of
certification tests
• Q-series Models:
• With tuned materials and properties, models showed better correlation for head drop and
thorax certification test.
• More enhancements would be made to improve the models as these models are first build
levels
• In most of the cases recently applied modifications tend to improve the
performance of the dummy models.
