HIGHLIGHTS
  • The durability and reliability of the joints of the KPSIT C50 dummy were assessed.
  • The joints of the KPSIT dummy were compared with the joints of the Hybrid III 50th centil male dummy.
  • The repeatability of the characteristics of the resistance moment in the joints depending on the cycles of measurements was demonstrated.
  • The result shows the reliability and durability of the joints of the KPSIT C50 dummy.

ABSTRACT
The article presents the results of experimental studies on the reliability and monitoring of the condition of the knee and shoulder joints of an anthropometric dummy designed for low-speed crash tests. Next, the characteristics of the resistance moments in the joints of the KPSIT C50 dummy are compared with the characteristics of the drag torque of the HYBRID III C50 dummy. The patented and manufactured knee and shoulder joints of the KPSIT C50 dummy characterized by a simple structure. The article presents a comparison of the resistance moments in the knee and shoulder joints of the KPSIT C50 dummy before crash tests and after a series of 200 crash tests. It has been shown that the patented solutions that have been used for low-speed crash tests do not need to be calibrated after a series of 5 crash tests, as is the case with the Hybrid III dummy. In addition, the results of experimental research presented in the article confirm the durability of the KPSIT C50 dummies joints and the possibility of using the joints for other centiles of anthropometric dummies.
