TY - JOUR PY - 1976// TI - Comparative knee impact response of Part 572 dummy and cadaver subjects JO - Proceedings: Stapp Car Crash Conference A1 - Kroell, C. K.

SP - 585 EP - 606 VL - 20 IS - N2 - The paper compares whole body, target impingement knee impact response for a Part 572 dummy to that for anthropometrically similar embalmed human cadavers. left double quote Response right double quote is defined to include the impact force-time history as sensed by femur load cells, and impingement target load cells for the dummy and by the target load cells for the cadavers. The data presented demonstrate significantly higher peak forces and correspondingly shorter pulse durations for the dummy than for the companion cadaver subjects under similar test conditions and at all velocity levels investigated. For the dummy, the ratio of forces measured by the femur load cells to those measured by the impingement target load cells averaged eight tenths.
