【 摘 要 】

As part of an activity for the Commercial Crew Program (CCP), a NASA Engineering and Safety Center (NESC) team conducted tests of small female, medium male, and large male Hybrid III anthropomorphic test device (ATD) head-neck complexes. The results were compared to simulation results from ATD finite element model (FEM) predictions to determine the validity and fidelity of ATD models for use in certifying CCP vehicles. The NESC was requested to help improve the large male ATD FEM to better represent physical responses. This report contains the outcome of the NESC assessment.
