PROMETHEUS - A User Oriented Program for Human Crash Dynamics.
Abstract
PROMETHEUS is an efficient, user oriented interactive simulation program to study the effects of vehicle crashes on human occupants. A vehicle occupant is modeled as a two dimensional, seven link, mass-spring dynamic system restrained by seat belt and shoulder harness subject to an arbitrary impulsive force. An arbitrary energy absorbing seat interacts with the occupant. Detailed descriptions of how to use the program along with a sample example are presented. The program is designed to operate on the CDC 6600 computer in either a batch or interactive mode.
