ABSTRACT:
A bending strain measurement apparatus for an abdomen of an anthropomorphic dummy comprises a band constituted of an elastic thin plate member. The band is arranged in a longitudinal direction of the abdomen, has one end thereof fixed in the vicinity of the abdomen of the dummy, and a plurality of gauges are arranged in a longitudinal direction of the band for detecting a bending strain of the abdomen when an obstacle collides with the abdomen. A measuring device measures time history of the bending strain based on bending strain of the respective portions of the band detected by the gauges arranged on the band, as a time transition of the bending strain of respective portions of the band.
