Using Digital Human Modeling to Evaluate and Improve Car Pillar Design: A Proof of Concept and Design of Experiments

Creator:

Mellon, Taylor R. P.

Abstract:

Considering human factors in early engineering design stages can improve expensive late stage processes, facilitate user safety, improve product quality and help reduce the need for physical prototyping. Currently, car pillar design (the vertical pillars between windows which connect the roof and car body) provide safety for the passengers in...
