Abstract
Airbags are safety devices in vehicles effectively suppressing passengers’ injuries during accidents. Although there are still many cases of eye injuries reported due to eye-airbag impacts in recent years. Biomechanical approaches are now feasible and can considerably help experts to investigate the issue without ethical concerns. The eye-airbag impact–induced stresses/strains in various components of the eye were found to investigate the risk of injury in different conditions (impact velocity and airbag pressure). Three-dimensional geometry of the eyeball, fat and bony socket as well as the airbag were developed and meshed to develop a finite element model. Nonlinear material properties of...
Biomechanical Modeling of Human Eye in Car Airbag Blunt Impacts During Accident: an Empirical Test and Finite Element Study
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Zohour, Hassan (Supervisor)
Abstract
Eye and vision are the most important tools and the perceptual sense of human. This important vital member is one of the most vulnerable organs of human body. For example in the United States 1.9 million eye surgery are being done yearly which include 9 thousand globe rupture and 30 thousand blindness due to impacts on the eye. Eye traumas could have occurred as mechanical, radiation, thermal, chemical, etc. among these, the damages related to the airbag impact which is subset of mechanical damages, take a significant percentage. Presenting a model of human eye in car airbag blunt impacts during accident could be effective for receiving helpful information from damage of the internal parts...
System Design Methodology of Airbag Control Unit in Compliance with ISO 26262
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Fotowat Ahmadi, Ali (Supervisor) ; Safarian, Amin Ghasem (Co-Supervisor)
Abstract
Various safety systems have been designed and developed in recent decades, but one of the most important issues is the improvement of safety of such systems and that is the goal of this research. In this thesis, while introducing different methods of designing an electronic system, we designed one of these safety systems: the Airbag system in accordance with ISO 26262 by considering standard requirements, prediction of potential hazards of the system, and its safe design at the system level. The designed system is capable of detecting the car crash in a precise and timely maner. The airbag will deploy within 45 milliseconds protecting the health and safety of occupants of the car and in...

Abstract
Frontal vehicle crashes have been a leading cause of spinal injuries in recent years. Reconstruction of frontal crashes using computational models and spinal load analysis helps us understand the patterns of injury and load propagation during frontal crashes. By reconstructing a real crash test and using a viscoelastic crash dummy model, spinal injury patterns were analyzed. The results indicated that a moderate crash with an impact speed of 56 km/h leads to injuries in L1-L2 and L5-S1 levels (L for lumbar and S for sacral vertebrae). The largest spinal loads and injuries were mainly observed immediately after the airbag deployment when the peak of the crash acceleration transpires. Also,...
