RESEARCH DUMMY HEAD ON SIMULATION AND TESTING

Abstract

The head is the part of the human body that needs to be protected first in the event of an accident. This paper aims to create a dummy head model applied in industrial simulation research. To achieve this goal, the author has built a realistic model of the dummy head machined from the 3D dummy head model. The actual model is fitted with a sensor to measure the acceleration during the crash test. The 3D model is also modeled into a finite element model FE to put into Hyper Works software, then run a crash simulation to get the head acceleration. The simulation results are compared with the experimental results of the actual dummy head model in terms of the head center of gravity acceleration. From there, discuss to draw conclusions about the possibility of using the first finite element model dummy to simulate later problems.
