Modeling Tools for Design of Air Cushion Restraint Systems 710015
This paper discusses the design of an automobile air cushion restraint system which will provide adequate occupant protection. The extensive process employed in the design of such a system is presented; systems analysis, engineering, testing, and evaluation are the major points of the process. The program is intended to provide low-cost safety methods, and to provide a basis for future development of more improved safety systems.
