Modifications and remarks of the rib extension model:
Ribs are cut off at the shown section boundary.
Rib extensions are connected to the deformable parts of the rib guides.
Back plate has been modified, so that the rib extensions slide frictionless into the back plate. Fig. 2 shows the opened backplate with the needle bearing of the ES-2re model.
For the extraction of occupant injury criteria, there are no differences between ES-2 re and ES-2 model.
