140 C 142 B 142 C 140 E
Occupant Protection:
Biomechanics (SS501)
The Biomechanics session presents
new research on automotive occupant
kinematics, human injury biomechanics,
and human tolerance in an automotive
environment. This includes new
methodologies in the study of human injury,
studies of human interaction with occupant
protection systems, technological advances
in physical and virtual anthropomorphic test
devices, and other experimental, analytical
and modeling studies on the biomechanics
of human injury.
1:00 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.
Occupant Protection: Safety Test
Methodology (Part 2 of 2) (SS508)
This session presents papers in testing and
modeling of safety-related technologies,
covering (1) improved, new and innovative
full/sub-system/component physical and
CAE-based test methodologies pertaining
to frontal, side, and pedestrian impacts; and
dummy evaluations; (2) Calculation algorithm
for 3D_IRTRACC for safety research, and
(3) special topics including data mining,
the wagging root uncertainty, boot effect
under blast loading, and a methodology for
predicting periprosthetic injuries.
1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Tire and Wheel Technology (Part 2
of 2) (SS700)
The aim of this symposium is to provide
a forum to bring together researchers do
discuss and disseminate the research on tire
and wheel technology. Examples of topics
to this symposium include (but are not limited
to) nonlinear behavior of tires and wheels,
static/dynamic stress analysis, nonlinear
material modeling, contact stress, impact,
noise, vibration, traction, hydroplaning,
effect of tires on vehicle performance, rolling
resistance, and durability.
1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Vehicle Aerodynamics (Part 3 of
8): Commercial Vehicles (SS800)
Commercial vehicle aerodynamics is
considered from both a component and
test facility perspective. The effect of sideskirts
is explored using a water tank. CFD
is used to explore blockage effects in full
scale wind tunnel tests.Finally, Scanias New
CD7 Climatic Wind Tunnel Facility for Heavy
Trucks and Buses is described.
