Abstract
The improvement of the passive safety of automobiles is reachable only by means of new technical solutions. The efficiency of the individual measures is examined in crash tests on newly developed vehicles. Doing this, the biophysical loads on the 'test objects' inside the automobiles are measured and compared. The favourited so-called protection criteria for the loads during side crashs are TTI (Traumatic Thorax Index) and VC (Viscous Criterion). The aim of this project was to check which of the criteria performes the best feasibility of judgement. Therefore the data of acceleration determined in crash tests had to be checked on plausibility. Then the deflexion and the velocity of deflexion of the thorax were computed by integration and the values of TTI and VC were determined. As a result we found that none of the both criteria dominated the other as well as no definite correlation between one of the criteria and the degree of injury was to be seen. All methods, models and results are presented in the report.
