Micro Abstract:
Pedestrian safety has gathered a lot of attention in recent years among academic and industrial researchers, promoted by the quick evolution of regulation and consumer test requirements. The current work presents the challenges involved in pedestrian lower leg impact test and attempts to deal with them in the field of structural optimization. A sensitivity analysis of the FlexPLI injury criteria is carried out, as motivation for the development of a parametric simplified vehicle front-end model.
