Blast Mitigation Seat Analysis: Drop Tower Data Review

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA608804 | Open PDF

Abstract:

A comprehensive analysis of data collected during an evaluation of blast energy-attenuation EA seats was conducted to review the performance of commercially available and prototype seat assets. This evaluation included twelve models of seats tested at two separate drop severities with three sizes of anthropomorphic test devices ATDs to develop test methodologies and assess the appropriateness of using injury assessment reference values IARVs for all occupant sizes.
