Abstract
The dimensions and inertial properties of the segments of an Alderson, 50th percentile anthropometric dummy were measured. The dummy, model F-50-AU, was disassembled into 10 main segments and measurements of weights. Lengths, center of gravity positions, and moments of inertia were performed on each segments. Lengths were measured directly with a scale and weighs were determined on a scale balance. A "balance tests" was performed on each segment to determine its center of gravity position. Moment of inertia data were measured by means of a torsional pendulum apparatus. A comparison is presented of these data with measured data of a Swedish dummy, type DV, and available human cadaver data.
