Abstract

Recently, the pedestrian protection regulations of Europe and Japan are becoming more stringent. However, it is difficult to evaluate the performance of protection because each regulation has different test conditions such as dummy, impact speed and so on. In this study, we construct a finite element model of pedestrian lower legform impactor prescribed in EEVC (European Experimental Vehicle Committee) W/G 10, and performed a impact analysis between the impactor and the front end module of vehicle. The simulations are carried out by using LS-DYNA3D, which is a well-known nonlinear dynamic simulation software. The analysis results according to various impact location show the impact characteristics of the lower legform.
