Techniques and Procedures Applied to Photometric Methods for the Analysis of Human Kinematic Responses to Impact Environments.

Abstract

This report presents the methods, techniques, and procedures developed and applied to photometrically evaluate the biodynamic responses of body segments to laboratory simulations of aircraft crash and escape system environments. These simulations were developed on the Horizontal Impulse Accelerator, the Hydraulic Decelerator, and the Body Positioning Retraction Device, all of which are facilities of the Biomechanical Protection Branch of the Air Force Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, by personnel of that organization. Application of these methods and techniques resulted in time histories of coordinate positions, relative to the test seat, of anthropometric points during the impact and response periods.
