Computer Simulations of Contact Forces for Airbags with Different Folding Patterns During Deployment Phase
An explicit finite element method was used to study the neck load and the contact force between an occupant and an airbag during an out-of-position frontal automobile crash. Two different folding patterns and two different mounting angles of the airbag were simulated. For the four cases simulated, t...
