Preliminary Development -- Head-Neck Simulator. Volume 2: Mathematical Simulations

摘要

The report documents the initial work of an ongoing research program of which the objective is to develop a head-neck simulator with omni-directional biofidelity. VOLUME II documents the validation of the proposed analog systems and compares the behavior of the Part 572 and Hybrid III head-neck systems with the human volunteer behavior. It follows that both neck designs are stiffer than any of the volunteers in the impact ranges tested. Preliminary results are presented of computer aided design activities in order to improve existing designs in view of these new findings.
