Experimental Program for the Development of Improved Helicopter Structural Crashworthiness Analytical and Design Techniques. Volume 2. Test Data and Description of an Unsymmetrical Crash Analysis Computer Program, Including a User's Guide and Sample Case

Abstract

Volume 2 contains supporting data for the details presented in Volume I. The report contains abstracts for the 32 technical reports reviewed during the program. Included in the literature survey section is a matrix categorization of the reports by subject and applicable areas of interest. A brief description is presented on STAGS, the LMSC computer program used to perform the analysis of the P2V-4 fuselage bumper. A comprehensive description of program KRASH is presented, including the theory, initial conditions, the User's Guide, and a sample problem. Twenty-six channels of recorded test data and film data are presented in another section. Additional analytical data are presented in the last section.
