Abstract
Disclosed herein is a muscular motion simulating system that is capable of simulating a force-displacement characteristic of an ideal muscle model through the use of a large displacement magnetic actuating unit supported by means of linear springs. The muscular motion simulating system comprises a base plate mounted to a virtual muscle part in a dummy in the longitudinal direction thereof, a moving body connected to a wire withdrawn from the virtual muscle part such that the moving body can be slid on the base plate when the position of the wire is changed due to an external impact so as to output the moved distance of the moving body, a load cell connected to the lower part of the moving body for measuring a load depending upon the moved distance of the moving body, a fixing plate fixed to the lower end of the base plate while being protruded outwardly, a load-adjusting unit disposed between the load cell and the fixing plate for outputting positional information to increase or decrease the load applied to the load cell by means of a biasing force of the magnetic field, and a control unit for controlling the actuation of the load-adjusting unit such that load applied to the load cell corresponds to the muscle strength according to the moved distance of the moving body with reference to the positional information inputted from the load-adjusting unit.
