In order to increase our understanding of the injury mechanism in the child occupant, three year old child model was developed using commercial dynamic package DADS. Total 14 segments and 12 joints were used to compose a model in three points belted condition with booster seat. HYGE sled test case was simulated to validate the developed model. Based on the comparison of the model and published test results, the developed model appears to be a resonable representation of the three year old dummy.

For the analysis of dynamic behavior of dynamic behavior of multibody systems by cartesian coordinate method, maximal sets of generalized coordinates and maximum numbers of differential equation and constraints must be considered. Therefore the inefficiency of the increase of CPU time is occurred. This paper is to analyze the dynamic system by using the relative coordinate method without violating the geometric condition of systems. The graph theory and system topology were used for this study. The dynamic systems could be analyzed by the automatic generation of the informations like equation of motion, constraints, and external forces etc. And the results were compared and verified with dynamic commercial package DADS.

The purpose of this study is to develop a program for the automatic derivation of the symbolic equations necessary for the kinematic and dynamic analyses of the spatial mechanism. For this purpose, a symbolic manipulation package called MCSYMA is used. Every symbolic equation is formulated using relative joint coordinate to obtain the numerically efficient system equations. These equations are produced in FORTRAN statements and linked to a FORTRAN program for numerical analysis. Several examples are taken for comparison with the commercial package called DADS which is using Cartesian coordinate approach. Also, this symbolic formulation approach is compared with a conventional numerical approach for an example. The results show that this symbolic approach with relative joint coordinate system is most efficient in computational time among three and is recommended for the derivation of macro elements frequently used.
