- Description
- DESCRIPTION: An experimental research project with human subjects will be deivsed to determine clearly identified input parameters to the mathematical models and for the test objects that can result from a worker in a high consequence environment falling onto energetic material. Experiments will be conducted using a high fidelity, 50th percentile male, frontal-imapct, crash test dummy to benchmark findings across expericments and to investigate a realm of impact forces that would severly injure living human subjects. Issues to be addressed are (1) Maximum height of the Work Stand; (2) Severity of a Fall Event Relative to Body Segment; (3) Compensatory Response to a Fall Event - Holding the Tool versus Throwing the Tool; (4) Direction of the Fall Event and Point of Impact; (5) Dynamics of a Fall Event Involving Load Conditions. PURPOSE: This is to request companies/laboratories that have the capability, knowledge and qualified staff to provide research services to support the "Falling Man" scenarios described above. SCHEDULE: Work must be completed no later than the end of December 2013.
