Title

Transient Behavior Of Seated Human Body During Input From Caudophalad Acceleration

Abstract

The objective of this study, is to investigate the dynamic transient response of a four degree-of-freedom lumped parameter model of the seated human body subjected to caudocephalad loading (acceleration from tail to head). The caudocephalad loading used in the model simulated the ejection process of a seated pilot from a high-speed aircraft. During ejection, ejection velocities are high and are developed over short distances hence, the accelerations are also high (10-40 g's). The model indicates that even though acceleration is applied over short time duration (typically less than 0.25 seconds), serious bodily injury can result due to high dynamic load factor for the frequency range of body resonances.
