Study And Application Of Crash Test Dummies Based On Industrial Design

Crash Test Dummies, called as Never Dying Doubles, can provide scientific basis for study of injury hazard and survival space change brought by distortion of automobile and evaluation of general automobile safety performance by simulating external configuration and inner structure of body. At present, domestic dummies which are used in crash test are almost produced by foreign companies. Data measured by dummies with European size can not reflect Chinese actual injury hazard. The result will harm Chinese safety. Thus, it is significant for society and science value to study and generalize crash test dummies with Chinese size.A new idea can be provided to Chinese crash test dummy's study, development and production after introduction of Modern Industrial Design Thought, Theory and Method. With application of the thought of People Centered, industrial design mod based on modern manufacture technology, domestic situation and user's need can accelerate three field of design, manufacture and market to closely unite.Concretely, it is chose to design adult 50th Percentile Frontal Crash Test Dummy because of its large application range. Using modern manufacture technology, CAD technology, modern management technology, modern aesthetics etc. to design dummies in a special situation and study human-machine-environmentsystem; Thinking about user demand and manufacture facility to design dummies with highly Biofidelity and Chinese size feature; Using bionics to design interior structure and exterior muscle configuration. At the same time, using Feature Modeling technology to model 3D part and assembly model. One of purposes is to realize assistant design, test rationality of design and reduce design cost. Another is to visualize dummy and enhance persuasion.As a result, dummies have more market competition owing to its feature of Chinese size parameter, highly bionic structure and figuration, precise measure capability. It is tested that the dummy can meet the demand in function and taste of consumers in terms of feedback information. It can substitute the congeneric import product.
