HF dummy clarification

[Paul Wellicome]

I've looked at the HF dummy in our ATD calibration area and looked at the documentation from Humanetics. This is what I think should be on the figure:

Standard Channels:

• Head acceleration 3 channels (Ax, Ay, Az)
• Neck Upper load 6 channels (Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz)
• Neck Lower load 6 channels (Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz)
• Chest acceleration 3 channels (Ax, Ay, Az)
• Chest displacement 1 channel (Dx)
• Pelvis acceleration 3 channels (Ax, Ay, Az)
• Femur load 1 channel per leg (Fz)

Additional Channels:

1. Head:
   • 15-channel adaptor, as H3. (Ax, Ay, Az in 5 positions)
2. Instrumented arm (left and right):
   • Upper arm load 6 channels (Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz)
   • Upper arm acceleration 3 channels (Ax, Ay, Az)
   • Elbow rotation 1 channel (Az)
   • Elbow load 2 channel (Mx, My)
   • Forearm load 6 channels (Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz)
   • Forearm acceleration 3 channels (Ax, Ay, Az)
   • Wrist rotation 1 channel (Ay)
   • Wrist load 2 channels (Mx, My)
3. Clavicle:
   • Clavicle (left and right) load 2 channels (Fx, Fz)
4. Shoulder seat belt:
   • Shoulder (left and right) belt force 3 channel (Fx, Fy, Fz). (Denton)
5. 27-channel Spine Box assembly:
   • Ribs 1-6 load 4 channels (Fx, Fy, Fz, My)
   • Thorax Spine load 3 channels (Fx, Fy, Fz)
6. Spine Box
   • Dummy temperature in spine box
7. Lumbar spine:
   • Lumbar spine load 6 channel (Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz)
8. ASIS:
   • Iliac Spine (left and right) load 2 channel (Fx, My)
   • Submarining load bolts (3 left and 3 right) 1 channel (Fx)
9. Femur:
   • Femur acceleration 3 channel (Ax, Ay, Az) – mounted on uniaxial femur loadcell.
10. Instrumented leg (left and right):
    • Femur load 6 channels (Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz) Is this instead of the uniaxial loadcell?
    • Knee displacement (Dx)
    • Knee load 2 channels (clevis inner and clevis outer) (Fz)
    • Tibia upper load 6 channels (Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz)
    • Tibia lower load 6 channels (Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz)
11. Ankle-toe:
    • Ankle-Toe load 5 channels (Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My)

Other channels to be confirmed:
There are other channels currently in the figure which I can find no trace of in the documentation. Please confirm that they are used!

• Head angle
• Head angular velocity
• Chest angular velocity
• Spine T1 load
• Sternum (Up, Mi, Lo) acceleration
• Thoracic Spine (Up, Mi, Lo) acceleration
• Pelvis angle
• Foot (left and right) acceleration
• Heel (left and right) acceleration
• Toe (left and right) acceleration
• Toe load

At Volkswagen we use some of the channels you have asked for:

• Head angle - used
• Head angular velocity - used
• Chest angular velocity - used
• Spine T1 load - used
• Sternum (Up, Mi, Lo) acceleration - used
• Thoracic Spine (Up, Mi, Lo) acceleration - used
• Pelvis angle - used
• Pelvis angular velocity - used
• Foot (left and right) acceleration - used
• Heel (left and right) acceleration - not used
• Toe (left and right) acceleration - not used
• Toe load - not used
