BIOMECHANICS & PMHS TESTING

UNDERSTANDING INJURY RESPONSES AND TOLERANCES

The Challenge:

  • Measuring human response from traumatic injuries including blunt, penetrating and blast events
  • Data to develop validated computational models for crashworthiness research, safety engineering and new protective devices including seat belts, air bags and child safety seats
  • PMHS (post mortem human subject) biomechanics data is critical for the development of new anthropomorphic test devices (ATDs), including the U.S. Army WIAMan blast test dummy and the THOR automotive frontal impact crash dummy

 

The Solution:

  • Rugged, miniature DTS data acquisition systems and sensors designed to embed in test article
  • Sensor ranges specifically for human response data
  • Sealed sensors ideal for cadaveric testing
  • Continued independent and collaborative research with academia, government & industry partners
  • WIAMan research data resulted in the first vertical load ATD with in-dummy DAS, Finite Element Models, an extensive software-based injury library and new validated analysis techniques
  • DTS is a trusted complete solution provider and expert in injury biomechanics

RESEARCH AND HUMAN RESPONSE

DATA ACQUISITION FOR HUMAN SUBJECT & LABORATORY STUDIES

The Challenge:

  • Measuring force and impact on the human body
  • Safe and effective test methodologies for human subjects of all ages and sizes
  • Validation of test data from ATDs or human analogs
  • Size and mass constraints of test instrumentation
  • Modular solutions, configurable for a variety of applications
  • Varying test needs of a wide range of customers including universities, manufacturers, research institutes and Professor Splash, the Guinness World Recorder holder for the highest shallow water dive into a child’s inflatable pool
  • To instrument Professor Splash, instrumentation needed to be waterproof, ultra-lightweight and high shock to withstand impacts from 11 meters into 30 cm of water at 53 km/h

 

The Solution:

  • Standalone, ultra-small DTS data acquisition systems and sensors
  • User configurable to support variable channel counts, features and sampling rates
  • Ideal for both long-term monitoring and short duration tests
  • For Professor Splash, the DAS was placed in a waterproof camera bag taped to his back to collect acceleration and strain gage data, power supplied via a small 9V battery
  • Store in place reliability, data writes to non-volatile flash memory
  • Angular rate and 6DOF sensors support HIC and BrIC for traumatic brain injury research
  • Sensor ranges designed for human response corridors
  • Easy set-up and intuitive software
  • Industry experts in occupant safety and injury biomechanics

RACEHORSE INJURY PREVENTION

DETERMINING HOW DIFFERENT SURFACES AFFECT HORSE INJURIES

The Challenge:

  • Collect field data on how ground surfaces affect potential equine foot and leg injuries
  • University of Guelph in Canada needed to measure acceleration and strain on horse hooves
  • Instrumentation needed to be small enough to attach to a horse’s hoof in an unobtrusive manner
  • Data recorder needed to be standalone and high shock & vibration tolerant
  • No cables that could get tangled or alter gate
  • Set-up needed to be simple and quick

The Solution:

  • Miniature, rugged, ultra-lightweight DTS data acquisition systems
  • University of Guelph mounted a SLICE MICRO data recorder directly on the hoof
  • Positioning the DAS near the sensors eliminates cables, improves data quality
  • Rugged enclosure designed to withstand impact and environmental factors
  • Portable, easy set-up in the field and quick to position on horses at the point of interest
  • 9-channel Guelph system included a triaxial IEPE accelerometer and six strain gages
  • Store in place reliability, data writes directly to flash memory
  • Intuitive software for easy set-up, viewing and data export
