Abstract

A final validation study of the presented models was undertaken with a head impact experiments, which is frequently used as an approval test in the automotive industry. A head dummy is accelerated to 10 m/s and impacts the window at a defined impact point. Head impact tests are based on the New Car Assessment Programme (NCAP) approval tests and were performed on an automotive side window consisting of monolithic PMMA and the PMMA-TPU laminate.
