SAFER HBM Model Development for Enhanced Submarining Prediction
Report, 2024
Submarining, defined as “the lap belt slides over iliac crest with lap belt forces effecting the internal abdominal organs during forward displacement of the lower torso”, can lead to injuries related to belt-to-abdominal loading in frontal automotive crashes. To study this phenomena with physical, i.e. Anthropometric Test Devices (ATDs), or virtual, e.g. finite element human body models (FE-HBMs), one first needs to validate the predicted response of these models in submarining scenarios. This report presents model development and validation of the SAFER HBM, to enable future submarining studies in frontal automotive crashes including population variability.
