Abstract:

The THOR-05F (Test Device for Human Occupant Restraint 5th Percentile Female) is being designed to provide improved biofidelity compared to the Hybrid III 5th Percentile Female, particularly in evaluating head/neck injuries due to air bag deployment, interaction with restraints (e.g., abdominal response in submarining) along with an improved pelvis, knee-thigh-hip, and lower leg. This manual describes the anthropometry and biomechanical response targets which are recommended to assess the THOR-05F anthropomorphic test dummy (ATD). The tests and procedures described here were derived primarily for use by dummy manufacturers during the pre-production design and development process. The tests and procedures are designed so that results may be assessed objectively. Tests are therefore designed to produce results in the form of time-history signals so that an objective quantitative scoring process may be performed.
