A system for detecting forces on and measuring deformation of an anthropomorphic test device (ATD) includes a plurality of body parts and at least one optical fiber supported by and in contact with at least one of the body parts. The body parts form the ATD and simulate at least a part of a human body and the articulation of the human body. The optical fiber extends between a first end and a second end and comprises a plurality of sensors disposed between the ends. An emitter is in communication with the optical fiber for emitting a light having a predetermined band of wavelengths through the optical fiber that is reflected by the sensors and an interrogator is in communication with the optical fiber for detecting the reflected light from the sensor such that changes to the reflected light indicate a strain on the at least one body part.

A shoulder assembly for a crash test dummy includes a shoulder assembly having a spring housing and a shoulder pivot member pivotally connected to the spring housing. The shoulder assembly includes a spring element disposed in the spring housing and an adjustable member to adjust the friction of the spring element.

Shoulder assembly for crash test dummy

A shoulder kit assembly for a crash test dummy includes a spine interface member for attachment to a spine of the crash test dummy and a scapula for attachment to the spine interface member. The shoulder kit assembly includes a load cell for attachment to the spine interface member for measuring load in a plurality of axes on a shoulder joint and an upper arm assembly having an arm bone made of a plastic material for operative attachment to the scapula. In addition, the shoulder kit assembly also includes a two axis rotational shoulder joint, a relatively soft molded flesh around the plastic arm bone, and provisions for two accelerometers at the shoulder and at the neck T1 location.

A shoulder and upper arm assembly for a crash test dummy includes a shoulder assembly having a spring housing and a shoulder pivot member pivotally connected to the spring housing. The shoulder assembly includes a spring element disposed in the spring housing and an adjustable member to adjust the friction of the spring element. An upper arm assembly includes a bone assembly having one end connected to the shoulder assembly and another end for connection to a lower arm assembly. The bone assembly includes a bone member made of metal and a load cell connected to the bone member to measure a load on the bone member.
