Overview of a combined computational-experimental evaluation for the assessment of panoramic sunroof impact characteristics for ejection mitigation.

CONCLUSIONS: This study combined computational and experimental analyses to determine a range of possible unbelted occupant-to-roof impact energies. These results can be used to determine design parameters for an impactor for the assessment of the risk of roof glazing ejection for unbelted occupants in rollover crashes.
