  safety belt where the force-angle relation can be
  analyzed to determine the optimal setting for a
  mechanism to best protect an infant. The focus
  will be on forward facing child car seats and
  rear impact crashes.
• Project Deliverables
• Free Body Diagrams of head, neck, full body with
  car seat and corresponding equations for each FBD
• CAD Drawings of attachment device, device
  assembled to car seat restraint system, all
  including multiple views
• Actual modification to car seat (attachment to
  restraint system) with corresponding sled testing
  data, sled testing data compared to original car
  seat data.
