Résumé / Abstract
AN IN-DEPTH, RETROSPECTIVE ACCIDENT ANALYSIS FOCUSING ON LOWER LEG INJURIES WAS PERFORMED. THEN, ACCORDING TO THE RESULTS OF A DRIVING SIMULATOR TRIAL, 3 SERIES OF EXPERIMENTAL TESTS WERE REALISED. THE FIRST SERIES OF TESTS ARE PENDULUM TESTS WITH POST MORTEM HUMAN LEGS AND WITH VOLUNTEERS. THE SECOND TEST SERIES ARE QUASI STATIC TESTS IN WHICH A PMHS LEG IS LOADED IN FOOT COMPRESSION. THESE TESTS ON HUMAN FOOT/ANKLE BIOLOGICAL TISSUES WERE COMPLETED BY TWO PMHS SLED TESTS. THEN THE AVAILABLE MODERN DUMMY LEGS AND FEET (HYBRID III AND GM/FTSS) HAVE BEEN SUBJECT TO THE IMPACT TESTS PERFORMED ON PMHS LEGS AND VOLUNTEERS' LEGS (WITH AND WITHOUT LOWER LEG MUSCLE TENSION). THE EXPERIMENTAL AND DUMMY RESULTS OF THESE TESTS ARE THEN USED AS REFERENCE FOR NUMERICAL SIMULATION, RAPPORT DE CONTRAT
