Abstract: An internal organ assembly for a crash test dummy includes an organ sac having at least one internal organ to measure a regional pressure for the crash test dummy that provides for evaluation of potential abdominal injuries during vehicle crash testing. The internal organ assembly further includes an abdominal muscle layer to hold the organ sac in place and provides human-like interaction with vehicle restraints.

Abstract: A shoulder assembly for a crash test dummy includes a movable clavicle adapted for attachment to a spine of the crash test dummy for freedom of movement in three-dimensional space, a scapula non-rigidly adapted mounted for attachment to the spine for freedom of movement in three-dimensional space, a shoulder cup member adapted for attachment to the spine in a plurality of axes for a shoulder joint, and an upper arm assembly having an arm bone made of a plastic material for operative attachment to the shoulder cup member to allow an impact on the shoulder of the dummy to move the shoulder assembly towards the spine.

Abstract: A string pot system for a crash test dummy includes a pulley adapted to be disposed inside a body of the crash test dummy and a string wound around the pulley. The string pot system also includes a motor and/or flywheel connected to the pulley and an active control system in communication with the motor and/or flywheel that maintains a constant tension on the string.

Abstract: A rib for a crash test dummy includes a metal band, a plurality of layers of damping material disposed on a portion of the metal band, and a cover coupled to the layers.

Abstract: A positioning table assembly for a crash test dummy includes a table bed adapted to be attached to an impact table for the crash test dummy and a table top adapted to support the crash test dummy and movably attached to the table bed for independent movement in X and Y axes and rotationally about a Z axis to position the crash test dummy relative to the table bed.
