An anthropomorphic test device utilizes a mounting mechanism for coupling a hollow member including a simulated flesh to a support structure, with the simulated flesh including a foam core portion covered with a skin portion. The mounting mechanism includes inserts, such as plastic or metal inserts having a flange portion and an elongated tubular member, which are introduced in multiple places within the simulated flesh with the flange portion within the foam core portion and the elongated tubular member extending through the skin portion. A fastening member is inserted through an elongated opening in the insert and within a receiving cavity portion of the support structure to secure the hollow member to the support structure. The hollow member may be a hollow pelvic member, and the support structure may be a pelvic support structure, with the hollow pelvic member secured to the pelvic support structure via the mounting mechanism.

An anthropomorphic test device includes a spine assembly, a pair of clavicle assemblies coupled to the spine assembly, a pair of arms with a respective one arm coupled to a respective one clavicle assembly, and at least one pad assembly having a clavicle portion mounted to a respective one of the clavicle assemblies and positioned onto a respective one arm. Each pad assembly includes a clavicle portion, which includes an arm portion and a clavicle base region, and a neck portion, which includes a raised neck region and a neck base region. The neck portion and clavicle portion are each formed from thermosetting materials, with the neck portion being stiffer than the clavicle portion, and with the neck and clavicle portions coupled together with mechanical locking features. The pad assembly is configured to provide a human-like response while reducing or eliminating entrapment of a shoulder belt during a crash test.
