Title

Transient Behavior Of Seated Human Body During Input From Caudophalad Acceleration

Abstract

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