The THOR-50M is a sophisticated dummy for frontal impacts used in NCAP programs world-wide since 2020. Advances compared to the Hybrid HIII-50M dummy include:
- Neck construction which allows for more translational “head lag” with flexion
- Thoracic spine includes a flexible rubber link whereas the Hybrid III’s spine is rigid from the lumbar spine to the neck
- Rib cage designed to better represent human rib geometry and structure and as such higher biofidelity for combined belt and airbag loading
- Enhanced instrumentation including three-dimensional thoracic deflection measurement system
