Abstract:

In the process of vehicle frontal crash, the coupling effect between body structures and restraint system directly affects occupant injuries. By combining theory and experience and using the evaluation method of the coupling relationship between crash waveform and restraint system, an analysis on the coupling relationship between the body structure and restraint system of a B-class passenger car is conducted, with body energy-absorbing structure and occupant restraint system modified. Final results indicate that the frontal crash star rating of that car is raised from three stars to five stars, effectively enhancing the safety performance of the vehicle.

Key words: crash waveform, occupant restraint system, coupling relationship evaluation, structure improvement
