Abstract:

This paper discusses the evaluation indices of the thoracic biofidelity of the Chinese anthropomorphic test device(ATD) and proposes a scaling method for the chest mechanical response that considers the effect of biological viscosity. Based on the viscoelastic biological characteristics of the human body, the concept of equivalent viscosity CE is introduced to correct the current elastic scaling method for viscosity. By introducing the viscosity correction factor ξ and the velocity loss factor e, a nonlinear channel scaling expression is established. The average errors of the maximum impact force and maximum compression calculated by this method are 8.77% and 5.55%, respectively, which are 3.84% and 0.37% lower than those of the original method. The simulation results show that this method effectively corrects the impact force.
