Simulação Numérica Do Impacto Entre Um Ser Humano E Um Veículo

Abstract

The occupants’s protection of a vehicle has been getting better significantly along
the last two decades, thanks to companies that have been developing patents to collect a great
number of innovations of transport safety, as airbags, seatbelts that reduce the effect
"whipped” in having beaten for back, among others. In this work, a numeric simulation was
accomplished, using the Technique of Multibody Systems (MBS), obtaining results of the
forces that act in the head and in other parts of the human body during the impact with a
vehicle, as well as the point of larger probability of impact of the head. This work will be
constituted in an important tool for the understanding of the authorities of MERCOSUL, in
order to the implantation of these protection mechanisms to the pedestrians in our countries.
