Effect of automotive side member materials on the head injury criteria (HIC) and chest severity index (CSI) of adult passenger

Effect of automotive side member materials on the head injury criteria (HIC) and chest severity index (CSI) of adult passenger

This paper presents the results for Head Injury Criteria (HIC) and Chest Severity Index (CSI) of an adult occupant in frontal impact. The component being studied is side member as impact energy absorber. Steel side member is used as the benchmark material, whereas aluminum alloy is used as lightweig...
