Whole-Body Postmortem Human Subject (PMHS) Testing Technical Report: Tests Conducted in Support of Injury Prediction Capabilities Development- Test Series WS10, WS11, and WS12

Abstract

The Warrior Injury Assessment Manikin (WIAMan) Program conducted three series of three whole-body postmortem human subject (PMHS) tests (nine tests total) to evaluate the biomechanical response to simulated under-body blast. This report presents the results of the nine whole-body PMHS tests. The test fixture, instrumentation, kinematic analysis, test description, and resulting injury descriptions and estimated injury timing is detailed for each of the test series.
