Adam Firestone
Lincoln, NE
Advisor: Dr. Janet Brelin-Fornari
Department:
Mechanical Engineering
Project Description:
Crash simulation of vehicle restraint systems using a deceleration sled. Anthropomorphic test devices are used to study the effectiveness of varying seat configurations and belt positions. The mechanical integrity of the restraint system during impact, as well as the effect of the system on the ATD, are being examined.
