The Hybrid III 95th Large Male Dummy  is currently at build level D, was originally developed by First Technology Safety Systems (then Humanetics) and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Biomechanics Subcommittees, CDC and Ohio State University. The dummy represents the largest segment of the adult population and is based on USA anthropometry studies*. The biomechanical impact responses are derived from scaling functions applied to the Hybrid III 50th Dummy. Originally developed in 1988, the dummy is used worldwide for the evaluation of automotive and military safety restraints  and particularly for seat belt integrity testing.

Dummy Features

Head and Neck

The skull and skull cap are one piece cast aluminum parts with removable vinyl skins. The neck is a segmented rubber and aluminum construction with center cable. It accurately simulates the human dynamic moment/rotation flexion and extension response.

Upper Torso

The rib cage is represented by six high strength steel ribs with polymer based damping material to simulate human chest force-deflection characteristics. Each rib unit comprises left and right anatomical ribs in one continuous part open at the sternum and anchored to the back of the thoracic spine.

A sternum assembly connects to the front of the ribs and includes a slider for the chest deflection rotary potentiometer. The angle between the neck and upper torso is adjustable, unless the optional lower neck load cell is used. A two-piece aluminum clavicle and clavicle link assemblies have cast integral scapulae to interface with shoulder belts.

Lower Torso

A curved cylindrical rubber lumbar spine mounts provides human-like slouch of a seated person and mounts to the pelvis through an optional three axis lumbar load cell. Two cables through the axis of the lumbar spine limit stretching, control response and increases durability. The pelvis is a vinyl skin/urethane foam molded over an aluminum casting in the seated position. The femur and tibia can be instrumented to predict bone fracture and the knee can evaluate tibia to femur ligament injury Lower legs are interchangeable with instrumented versions.
