Abstract:

A variable weight, variable CG helmet simulator has been designed to measure the effect of US Army headgear on muscle loading and fatigue. The helmet simulator consists of two weight concealment boxes attached to opposite sides of a supporting head which in turn is mounted on the wearers head by a suspension system taken from an SPH-4 helmet. The weight and CG can be altered by positioning variable weights within the concealment boxes. Author
