This paper reports injury load HYGE sled test data and Madymo crash simulation data, all with a Hybrid III 50%ile male dummy. Six frontal crashes and two rear impacts were performed to determine the effect that the CBM Seat has on injury load data in direct comparison to the original equipment seats (OES), The CBM Seat is designed to increase containment angle to eliminate submarining during a crash {1}. In general, the aim of the present study is to determine the effect that the CBM Seat has on the dummy's injury load values compared to the same set up with OES...

Counter Balanced Motion (CBM) - Dynamic Seating Hector Serber, the CEO of American Ergonomics, presented "Counter Balanced Motion (CBM) - Dynamic Seating, New Seat Mechanics to Reduce Occupant Injury and Enhance Comfort" at the 1999 SAE International Congress & Exposition at the Cobo Center in Detroit, Michigan.
"DYNAMIC SEATING - Optimizing the CBM Seat Design" was first presented at Automotive & Transportation Interiors Expo in Detroit, May 19-21, 1998. Hector Serber, the president of American Ergonomics and the inventor of this technology presented the technical data, background and test results.
