Free Motion Headform FE

The Free Motion Headform (FMH) is a Hybrid III type dummy head used to assess the interior of a vehicle. The FMH is launched from inside the vehicle so that its forehead strikes the selected target component (e.g. pillar, side rail, or header). The FMH has accelerometers for measurement of head acceleration during the impact. These measurements are then used to calculate the HIC injury criteria. These tests are required by 49 CFR Part 571.201 Occupant protection in interior impact.

The FMH model is validated with Head Drop tests on to a various rigid and deformable sections against physical test data.

Humanetics offers highly detailed and validated FMH models in ANSYS LS-DYNA, PAM-CRASH, and RADIOSS Finite Element codes.
