PMHS TESTING

INJURY BIOMECHANICS & POST-MORTEM HUMAN SUBJECT (PMHS) TESTING

UNDERSTANDING INJURY MECHANISMS AND HUMAN TOLERANCES

Testing Challenges:

  • Measuring human response to dynamic events
  • Limited access to cadavers/PMHS (post-mortem human subjects)
  • Biohazard precautions and proper handling
  • Collecting accurate human injury criteria data to develop validated computational models and simulations
  • Updated injury kinematics data to support the development of new anthropomorphic test devices (ATDs) like the WIAMan blast test manikin 

DTS Key Features:

  • Miniature, rugged data acquisition systems and sensors
  • Sensor ranges specifically for human response data
  • Sealed sensors designed to support cadaveric testing
  • Special biohazard services available to calibrate test instrumentation used for PMHS testing
  • DTS is a trusted solution provider and expert in injury biomechanics
  • Continued independent and collaborative research with academia, government & industry partners to advance testing

DID YOU KNOW? Data from PHMS testing is used for crashworthiness research, safety engineering, and new protective devices, including seat belts, airbags, and child safety seats. WIAMan research data resulted in the first vertical load ATD with in-dummy DAS, new Finite Element Models, an extensive software-based injury library, plus new validated analysis techniques
