Head Impact on Vehicle Interiors: FMVSS 201 and UN R21
Description
To prevent injuries resulting from impacts of the occupants ' heads on vehicle interior parts, these parts need to be designed in a way which allows sufficient deformation space to reduce the loads on the head. Internationally there are two important regulations regarding the design of interiors, such as cockpits, roof and door liners: The U.S. FMVSS 201 and the Regulation UN R21. Both regulations stipulate requirements concerning the maximum head acceleration or the HIC in impacts on interior parts. The objective of this course is to provide an overview of the legal requirements and to show how these can be fulfilled. The focus of the seminar is on the development process and the development tools and methods. In particular the interaction of testing and simulation will be described and different design solutions will be discussed. Typical conflicts of objectives in the design - e.g. to fulfil NVH requirements, static stiffness, or misuse, while fulfilling the safety standards at the same time - are addressed in this seminar. Examples of practical solutions will be shown and discussed. In addition, the development according to the head impact requirements in the overall-context of vehicle development is described in this seminar. In a workshop exemplary head impact locations in a vehicle interior and impact areas on a dashboard are determined.
Who should attend?
This seminar is especially suited for engineers and technicians who work on the development of vehicle interior parts and who want to become familiar with the safety requirements that are relevant for these parts.
