To investigate the risk of thoracoabdominal injuries in six-year-old child occupants in a reclined seating posture during frontal collisions, and provide a reference for developing child restraint systems (CRS).
Three validated biomechanical models of six-year-old child occupants in different seating postures with detailed anatomical structures were used. The acceleration curve from a sport utility vehicle crash test was applied to analyze the effects of seating posture on thoracic motion trajectory, chest acceleration, thoracoabdominal compression, viscous criterion (VC) of the chest and abdomen, internal organ strain, and spinal stress.
Thoracic motion trajectories varied in the Z-direction under three seating postures. As the upper torso angle increased, thoracoabdominal kinematic injury parameters showed an upward trend. The thoracic and abdominal VC under 120° and 135° posture increased by 67% and 113%, 10.7% and 25% compared with that under 105° standard sitting posture. The risk of thoracic internal organ injury was inversely related to the seating angle, while the risk of abdominal internal organ injury was positively related to the seating angle. The primary spinal injury mechanism was compression-flexion.
CRS protection evaluation should comprehensively consider thoracoabdominal kinematic parameters, internal organ biomechanics, and spinal injury risk. These findings have important implications for CRS development in intelligent driving systems and occupant protection strategy formulation.
