Description of Dummy Features The H-III5F dummy is essentially a scaled down version of the Hybrid III 50th (H-III50M) percentile dummy with several updated components to provide human-like range of motion and improve performance and durability in the air bag environment.
The H-III5F dummy's construction is configured to match the posture of a seated vehicle occupant to allow the user to replicate realistic driver and passenger positions , restrained and unrestrained, in environments with and without air bag deployment. The thorax contains several significant modifications including rib guides which limit upward and downward movement of the ribs, similar to those found in the H-III3C and H-III6C. The pelvis contains features which reduce the likelihood of submarining when tested in a 3-point belt environment. Mounted on each upper femur is a hard plastic bumper which limits the amount of hyperflexion of the femur and prevents metal-to-metal contact in extreme conditions. A rubber bumper mounted on the ankle limits the range of motion of the foot and prevents metal-to-metal contact between the foot and ankle. Also incorporated into the heel of the foot is an Ensolite pad which provides a degree of heel compliance.
