Linear Impact Procedure for Occupant Ejection Protection

2016-04-28

HISTORICAL

J2937_201604

The objective of this document is to enhance the test procedure that is used for ejection mitigation testing per the NHTSA guidelines as mentioned in the FMVSS226 Final Rule document (NHTSA Docket No. NHTSA-2011-0004). The countermeasure for occupant ejection testing is to be tested with an 18kg mass on a guided linear impactor using the featureless headform specifically designed for ejection mitigation testing. SAE does not endorse any particular countermeasure for ejection mitigation testing. However, the document reflects guidelines that should be followed to maintain consistency in the test results. Examples of currently used countermeasures include the Inflatable Curtain airbags and Laminated Glass.

J374_201503

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes a uniform laboratory test method to evaluate the strength characteristics of roof systems. The test procedure is intended to provide reliable and repeatable results and to permit numerical comparisons. A test is conducted in which the vehicle roof system is loaded under controlled laboratory conditions. Structural strength measurements are obtained under load application angles chosen to concentrate forces on the forward portions of the roof panel and roof supporting structure.

Linear Impactor Calibration Procedure

CURRENT

J3095_202305

This SAE Recommended Practice provides a procedure for measuring quantitatively the physical characteristics of linear impactors that are believed to effect impact test accuracy, repeatability, and reproducibility. Suggested values and tolerance are also provided for specific applications of linear impactor testing (i.e., ejection mitigation tests, head form impact tests, body block tests). Two functional groups of linear impactors are considered: those whose function is related primarily to displacement, and those related to measuring acceleration or force.

MOVING BARRIER COLLISION TESTS

1966-11-01

HISTORICAL

J972_196611

Collision tests are conducted on automotive vehicles to obtain information of value in evaluating structural integrity and in reducing occupant injuries. Deceleration conditions during a moving barrier impact are more severe at a given speed than those produced by using a crushable vehicle but are more readily reproducible than those occurring during impacts of two vehicles. The purpose of this SAE Recommended Practice is to establish sufficient standardization of moving barriers and moving barrier collision methods so that results of tests conducted at different facilities may be compared.

Collision tests are conducted on automotive vehicles to obtain information of value in evaluation of structural integrity and in reducing the risk of occupant injuries. The deformation resulting from a moving rigid barrier impact is more severe at a given speed than that produced by using an actual vehicle, but is more readily reproducible than that occurring during vehicle to vehicle impacts. The purpose of this SAE Recommended Practice is to establish sufficient standardization of such moving barriers and moving barrier collision methods so that results of tests conducted at different facilities may be compared.
