The following chapter provides an investigation on dynamic head impact tests on automotive windscreens. This chapter is divided into two parts. The first part investigates head impact replacement tests. These tests consist of a free-flying impactor and an impact velocity according to the European NCAP [191]. The difference between European NCAP experiments and the test conducted within this investigation, is the four-point-support of the windscreens. Subsequently, numerical results are calculated using the stochastic fracture model. The experimental and numerical results were compared and discussed afterwards. In the second part, a pedestrian head impact is simulated under in-service conditions. The aim is to calculate the HIC, taking into account the stochastic fracture behavior of glass. A stochastic distribution of the HIC is presented.
