Description of Dummy Features
The Hybrid III Three-Year-Old child (H-III3C) dummy was designed to be used in testing child restraints and assessing the injury risks associated with air bag interactions. Some of the distinguishing characteristics of the H-III3C design are biofidelic head, biofidelic segmented neck with a steel cable to limit elongation and biofidelic thorax including ribs made of 1095 steel for increased durability, upper and lower rib guides to limit vertical movement of the ribs and sternum-to-spine bumpers to prevent instrumentation damage caused by metal-to-metal contact in the event of severe chest deflection. As the dummy was intended to be used while properly restrained in child restraint systems as well as out-of-position with air bags, the dummy's pelvis allows sitting, standing and kneeling postures.
