Abstract
In this thesis, a FE system was developed in order to reproduce a Euro NCAP side impact test of a mid-size sedan and analyse the injuries with a Human Body Model (HBM). The FE model simulates the impact between an Advance European Mobile Deformable Barrier (AE-MDB) and a 2012 Toyota Camry, where a driver HBM is positioned, at 50km/h. The HBM model chosen is the THUMS model, provide by Toyota. Before including the HBM into the simulation, several steps were performed in order to set properly the simulations. A footprint of the driver seat was created, then, the HBM was positioned using PIPER software and, at the end, a seatbelt model was created in order to secure the driver occupant to the seat.
The result obtained with the FE simulation were analysed through several parameters in order to have a complete idea of the injury severity due to the impact
