Humanetics created the first crash test dummy over 70 years ago. An anthropomorphic test device (ATD) — commonly known as a crash test dummy — is a high-precision test instrument used to measure human injury potential in vehicle crashes. Crash test dummies simulate human response to impacts,...
An anthropomorphic test device (ATD) — commonly known as a crash test dummy — is a high-precision test instrument used to measure human injury potential in vehicle crashes. Crash test dummies simulate human response to impacts, accelerations, deflections, forces and moments of inertia generated ...
In "Inside IIHS," engineers at the IIHS Vehicle Research Center explain crash test programs and highlight some of the equipment they use in their research. The videos include, "Crash test dummies at work," "Frontal offset testing," "Measuring roof strength," "The crash propulsion system," ...
Prior to the development of crash test dummies, dead bodies, animals and live humans were used to test safety features. As the engineers learned how to instrument dummies with sensors to measure force, pressure, impact and displacement, they understood how they could predict injuries such as rib...

Recommended Videos A video posted on YouTube explains how the team’s work “ranges from next-generation aircraft to water-impact tests that evaluate the splashdown ofOrion astronaut crew capsulesreturning from space.” Many of the experiments involve the use of crash-test dummies, similar to the...
(this was before usefully instrumented test dummies had been invented.) projects mx-981 and 7850 were born to find how quickly the human body could be slammed to a stop, and how to restrain it to minimize trauma. stapp and his crew, in the deserts of california and later new mexico, ...

This is expert opinion for dummies. A vast tapestry of lies, as Harold Pinter said in his Nobel Prize address. The war escalation the editorial writers are promoting is in their words, “this timepitting Westernarmsagainst a desperate Russia,” as if the U.S./NATO does not have CIA and...
