Abstract:The Open Source PIPER child scalable human body model was publicly released in April 2017 (www.piperproject.org) along with frontal and side impact validation conditions. The objective of this paper is to investigate the effect of anthropometry scaling on the response of the model in side pelvic impact. Three setups from two published studies were used: (1) a lateral drop test (2) a greater trochanter impact with a rigid pendulum (3) a pelvis side impact with a flat surface. The first study used scaling assump… Show more
