Absorbed power of small children

Abstract: Ab stractObjective: To experimentally measure the seated vertical direction whole-body absorbed power characteristics of small children less than 18 kg in mass.Background: Several studies have reported whole-body absorbed power for adult humans, but no data has been published previously for small children.Methods: Eight children were tested in a laboratory test rig which incorporated safety features which satisfy existing international standards for human testing. Force and acceleration were measured at the po… Show more

“…In general, measurements of mechanical properties can be divided into the following two categories: measurement under static conditions using constant loads 1,2 and measurement under dynamic conditions using time-varying loads. [3][4][5] The need for evaluating the mechanical properties of materials and structures under time-varying loads has also arisen in many other industrial and research applications such as material testing, motion control, and crash testing. In such applications, the force acting on the material under test is measured using a force transducer, and the position of the point at which the force is applied is measured using a position transducer.…”
