Outer Rib Band Test

The outer rib band is tested in a similar way. A fully assembled thorax assembly is used and only the ribs above and below the tested rib are disassembled. The tested ribs are:

  • Shoulder rib
  • First thorax rib
  • Third thorax rib
  • Second abdomen rib

 

Each rib is tested with three velocities. The test is used to validate the behavior of the complete rib modules including the sternum materials. Furthermore two different masses are used for the pendulum, hence there are six different test configurations for each single rib.
