MAN'S RESPONSE TO SHIP SHOCK MOTIONS,

Abstract

Men were exposed in the laboratory to motions similar to those experienced on the decks of ships subjected to underwater explosion attack. From measurements of the gross bodily response of men, empirical equations are derived which can be used to compute the velocities at which man will leave the deck under various conditions. Tolerance curves are developed which permit an estimate of the shock level at which injury takes place. (Author)
