- Selection of proper mechanical characteristics of the padding material of the head rest, namely polyurethane foam, is particularly important in the design process of the vehicle seat head restraint. In the paper the code of numerical simulation of flexible polyurethane foam absorber response against impact of a rigid body (passenger's head) is presented. The code is based on the lump mass method. Basics of the numerical algorithm based on this method are presented. Material constitutive model of flexible polyurethane foam (FPF) derived on the basis of former experimental tests and used in the algorithm is described. Comparative results of numerical simulations together with results of experiments carried out on drop hammer rig with flat impact or are shown. The results are presented on diagrams of deceleration versus time. Also comparative Finite Element simulations are carried out. The FE simulation was performed using the implicit analysis, taking into account the multi-linear, hyper-elastic material model and large strain (non-linear geometric relations). The influence of damping coefficient on the deceleration characteristics was investigated. Some final conclusions concerning the applicability of the numerical code based on the lump mass method, as well as its advantages in comparison with the FE software are derived.
