Procedures for Using the AMANDA Model in Acceleration Response Studies (Tutorial by Example)
This report describes the procedures for using the AMANDA model in acceleration response studies. It includes processing of acceleration time-history data for inputting the data into AMANDA and applying AMANDA, which predicts head chest and pelvis acceleration, in order to predict injury.

Summary: | This report describes the procedures for using the AMANDA model in acceleration response studies. It includes processing of acceleration time-history data for inputting the data into AMANDA and applying AMANDA, which predicts head chest and pelvis acceleration, in order to predict injury. The ORCA modeling system is a computer software package that provides a comprehensive standardized casualty assessment methodology associated with weapon-induced injuries. It also includes recommended improvements to enhance AMANDA model capabilities within the ORCA modeling system. Sets of acceleration time-history data from a live-fire test are included as an example in order to enhance the clarity of the described procedure. The original document contains color images. Project no. D6-75. |
