The second set of evaluation criteria is comprised of the maximum
neck shear force and maximum neck tension measured on the dummy during the test.
Not exact matches
The Institute's dynamic ratings of good, acceptable, marginal, or poor are derived from two seat design parameters (peak acceleration of the dummy's torso and time from impact initiation to head restraint contact with the dummy's head) plus
neck tension and
shear forces recorded on BioRID during the test.
«That produces an S - shape in the
neck, and that can develop a lot of
shear forces in the
neck,» Romilly says.

The full deceleration of the head,
neck and torso, aggravated by the tightened seat belt, creates high tension and
shear forces in the spine, brain stem, nerves and ligaments.
Significantly high
shear forces develop in the
neck and brain, the spinal curves straighten and the spine is compressed.
