ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for simulating a pregnant female human during a crash test includes a torso having an abdominal cavity formed therein. A fetal insert assembly includes a fetal body simulating a human fetus with a head portion connected to a chest portion and a fetal insert defining a fetal cavity for retaining the fetal body. The fetal insert and fetal body are removably retained in an insert cavity in an abdominal shell which is removably retained in the abdominal cavity. A wall of the fetal cavity has an elongated slit formed therein can be deformed to separate the abutting sides and form an opening through which the fetal body is inserted into and removed from the fetal cavity. A first triaxial accelerometer is mounted in the head portion and a second triaxial accelerometer is mounted in chest portion of the fetal body for sensing acceleration in each of the three predetermined directions when force applied to the abdominal shell causes the fetal body to move. A mounting plate, bracket means attached to the lower abdominal portion of the torso and a plurality of load cells mounted on the bracket means are used to sense force applied to the abdominal shell. A jacket covers a chest flesh assembly, the torso and at least a portion of the abdominal shell and has zippers extending between an open bottom end and a neck opening, a right arm opening and a left arm opening.
