Development of Anthropometric Analogous Headforms. Phase 1.

Abstract

Designing small, medium and large headforms for retention and fit assessment of military helmets was the study's central objective. Using the U.S Anthropometric Survey, a multivariate procedure for sizing yielded three sets of optimal values for four independent, head and face variables. The remaining variables were set at the median values from three subpopulations (each 5% of the total population) centered about the optimal sets. Other reported data includes inertial properties, skin properties, CAD renderings and waterline cross-sectional geometries.
