SINCAP MDB - 3<br />

When tested according to the test conditions outlined in this test procedure, each vehicle’s<br />

occupants shall be evaluated using the following criteria:<br />

2.1. FMVSS No. 214 INJURY CRITERIA – ES-2re MALE DUMMY<br />

A. HEAD INJURY CRITERION (HIC36) - The head injury criterion is computed from the<br />

resultant acceleration (A R ) in g units at the dummy head’s center of gravity. The following<br />

expression describes HIC36:<br />

where A R = [A x 2 + A y 2 + A z 2 ] 1/2 and t 2 and t 1 are any two points in time during the impact<br />

event which are separated by no more than 36 milliseconds.<br />

The HIC36 shall not exceed 1000.<br />

B. CHEST INJURY CRITERION - The chest injury criterion measured is the maximum chest<br />

deflection in any of the dummy’s three ribs. The maximum rib deflection may not exceed<br />

44 mm (1.73 inches).<br />

C. ABDOMINAL INJURY CRITERION – The abdominal injury criterion measured is the total<br />

abdominal force. This is the sum of the front, middle, and rear abdominal forces. The<br />

maximum total abdominal force shall not exceed 2,500 N (562 lbs).<br />

D. PELVIS INJURY CRITERION -- The pelvis injury criterion is the measured peak pubic<br />

symphysis force. This force shall not exceed 6,000 N (1350 lbs).<br />

2.2. FMVSS No. 214 INJURY CRITERIA – SID-IIs FEMALE DUMMY<br />

A. HEAD INJURY CRITERION (HIC36) - The head injury criterion is computed from the<br />

resultant acceleration (A R ) in g units at the dummy head’s center of gravity. The following<br />

expression describes HIC36:<br />

event which are separated by not more than 36 milliseconds.<br />

The HIC shall not exceed 1000.<br />

B. LOWER SPINE INJURY CRITERION – The injury criterion for the lower spine is the peak<br />

resultant lower spine acceleration. This acceleration may not exceed 82 g’s.<br />

C. PELVIS INJURY CRITERION – The sum of the acetabular and iliac pelvic forces may not<br />

exceed 5,525 N (1,242 lb).
