Anthropomorphic Dummies for Crash and Escape System Testing (Mannequins Anthropometriques Utilises lors des Tests D'Impact et d'Ejection)

Authors: ADVISORY GROUP FOR AEROSPACE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT NEUILLY-SUR-SEINE (FRAN CE)
 
Abstract: Anthropomorphic dummies are mechanical surrogates of the human body. Dummies are also called anthropomorphic test devices (ATDs) and manikins. They are used as test devices by the automotive and aircraft industries and regulatory bodies, and the military to evaluate vehicle safety in crash and escape system environments. Dummies are designed to perform two basic functions. Earlier versions were used strictly for loading the vehicle dynamically, and required only weight and size in their design. The second type of dummy, used to assess type and severity of injury, is designed to mimic human dynamic impact response. These dummies require a sensor suite of instrumentation to measure impact loading of different body parts to assess injury risk (1.1 & 1.2).
