Abstract

Occupant lower leg injury prediction is a difficult procedure due to the complex interactions between the occupant and vehicle structure. This study presents a method to simulate the lower leg kinematics and injuries with MADYMO in the European New Car Assessment Programme (EuroNCAP) 40% offset deformable barrier (ODB) crash test. This study also addresses how to model the vehicle motion, intrusion of the instrument panel (IP), steering wheel, dash panel and accelerator pedal for crash tests. The modelling of the IP surface and the footrest for both driver and passenger is presented. The model was correlated to a full vehicle ODB crash test, and the overall results for the tibia index were found to be acceptable.
