Abstract

Biomechanical guidelines for the development of an anthropometric dummy knee have been lacking. Quasi-static tests were performed on adult male volunteers and cadavers to define the force penetration characteristics of the knee when loaded by a rigid, crushable foom of known crush properties. Data are presented for each subject, and normal distribution theory is used to develop percentile scaling rules for the knee response.
