• Description:
  A comprehensive study of the capabilities of the program SOM-LA/TA (Seat Occupant Model -Light Aircraft/Transport Aircraft) has been performed and deficiencies of its occupant models have been identified. For the prediction of occupant head injuries, formulations and mechanisms of head injury have been evaluated. Head-Injury-Criteria (HIC) from analysis codes and experiments have been computed and compared. Feasibility and detailed designs of a simple non-sled HIC-measuring test mechanism have been accomplished and issues regarding the construction of test facility has been discussed.
