Abstract:Performance requirements are developed which define the kinematic and kinetic response of the head for a seated subject exposed to frontal, lateral or oblique impact. Response is expressed in terms of variables which are readily measured in an anthropometric dummy and which are useful in injury prediction. The performance requirements are based on volunteer tests conducted by the U.S. Department of Navy, Naval Biodynamics Laboratory (NBDL) in which a 4-point restraint system and a singular type of impact profile are employed. Other NBDL volunteer tests and volunteer and cadaver tests conducted by Wayne State University are used to evaluate the effects of variation in impact profile, type of restraint system and level of muscle activity.
