Abstract

The Wayne horizontal accelerator mechanism (WHAM II) is a versatile device for the study of human tolerance to impact and the characteristics of vehicle components under simulated crash impacts. The mechanism can be used with either a sled or a modified automobile on its own wheels, with accelerations or decelerations up to 60 g being applied.
