• Abstract:
  This research report documents the development of a finite element model representing a seat with integrated seat belts from a recent model passenger vehicle. Static tests evaluated seat deformation and potential failure mechanisms. Dynamic tests with appropriate anthropomorphic test dummies evaluated occupant kinematics and injury in high-severity front- and rear-impact crashes. All test data, along with seat tear down measurements and component testing, factored into the development and validation of the FE model. The data from these tests was used to validate the seat model.
