On the morning of May 19, a delegation from the American company Humanetics Group, including Han Jie, Manager of the China CAE Department, and Dr. Chirag Shah, Manager of Anthropomorphic Test Device Product Development, visited the School of Mechanical Engineering at Tianjin University of Science and Technology. The visit focused on exchanges and collaboration regarding the development of anthropomorphic test devices and automotive safety technology.The delegation was received by Professor Mao Wenjuan, Director of the Office of International Exchange, Professor Li Wenhui, Dean of the School of Mechanical Engineering, Professor Li Haiyan, Director of the International Joint Research Center for Modern Automotive Safety Technology, along with faculty and student representatives from the school.

Professor Mao Wenjuan, Director of the Office of International Exchange, extended a warm welcome to the visiting delegation and provided an overview of the university's initiatives and achievements in promoting international cooperation and enhancing its global education standards. She expressed her expectation to further deepen exchanges and collaboration between both sides in areas such as talent cultivation, faculty exchanges, and scientific research.

Professor Li Wenhui, Dean of the School of Mechanical Engineering, provided a comprehensive overview of the school, detailing its developmental history, disciplinary development, talent cultivation, and international collaborations. He emphasized the school's strong commitment to international academic cooperation and its active efforts in building global platforms for talent development and scientific research. Professor Li expressed the hope that this exchange would further expand the collaborative opportunities with Humanetics Group.

During the subsequent technical exchange session, Professor Li Haiyan, Director of the International Joint Research Center for Modern Automotive Safety Technology, systematically presented the series of achievements made by his team over the past two decades in the development of the TUST injury simulation model. He highlighted key technological breakthroughs in critical areas, including the development of injury simulation models based on Chinese anthropometrics, model validation and benchmarking, as well as model applications driven by artificial intelligence technologies.

Dr. Chirag Shah and Manager Han Jie from Humanetics Group expressed their gratitude for the warm reception and spoke highly of the achievements made by Tianjin University of Science and Technology in the development and application of anthropomorphic test devices. They remarked that the TUST injury simulation model system is comprehensive in its architecture and refined in its structure, holding broad application prospects. Both sides engaged in in-depth discussions on topics including model precision control, application scenarios, and potential modes of collaboration.

Following the meeting, the guests visited the Digital Laboratory of Injury Biomechanics and Vehicle Safety. They observed the deployment methods and testing procedures of the TUST injury simulation model in vehicle collision simulations. On-site, both parties engaged in further discussions regarding the model's structural details, simulation boundary conditions, and application strategies. A preliminary consensus was reached on potential directions for future scientific research collaboration.

The American company Humanetics Group is a high-tech global industrial technology corporation. It is both a pioneer in the development of crash test dummies and an advanced supplier of virtual simulation software, integrated crash testing systems, precision sensors, and specialty optical fibers.This exchange between the School of Mechanical Engineering and Humanetics Group represents a concrete implementation of the "Pioneer Plan" initiatives for "International Dissemination" and "Scientific Climbing," demonstrating the university's active achievements in promoting international cooperation and technological innovation. The engagement has not only facilitated information alignment between Tianjin University of Science and Technology and a global industry leader but has also laid the groundwork for advancing the international application of the TUST injury simulation model and promoting the global adoption of China's original scientific research.
