Abstract:Aiming at dummy's large neck injury in a whiplash test for a driver seat,the C-NCAP(2015)whiplash test procedures and
rating principles were summarized and the correlation between the neck injury criteria and the dummy neck movement response was
studied.The reason for losing in whiplash test was analyzed combined with the parameters affecting the seat whiplash performance. Finite
element model of the seat was built up and verified based on the diagnostic test results. The optimization design of the seat structure was
done based on the verified model. The results indicate that the trend and peak of the neck injury curvesare consistent with the test so that
the built-up model can predict the dummy neck movement response. The neck injury in whiplash test can be significantly improved by
optimizing the headrest and upper back stiffness and reducing the horizontal distance between the head and headrest to achieve the
design target.
