Comparison of Biodynamics Models Using Automotive Racing Crash Data (Completed)

Last Published: 07/30/21 01:05:34 PM (Central)

Task Book: Entry Unavailable
Principal Investigator: Gernhardt, Michael

Short Title: Modeling NASCAR Data

Responsible HRP Element: Space Human Factors and Habitability

Collaborating Org(s):

Funding Status: Completed - Task completed and produced a deliverable

Procurement Mechanism(s):

Directed

Aims:

Obtained National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) data via Space Act Agreement.
Correlated biodynamic responses with driver injuries.

Integration/Unique Aspects: Coordination with NASCAR and NASA Legal to generate Space Act Agreement.

Deliverables (1)

Category: Risk Characterization, Quantification
Subcategory: Evidence or Risk Characterization

Description:
The processed data were analyzed to calculate peak acceration, change in velocity, pulse length, and other appropriate metrics. Generated Finite Element modeling data using a 50th percentile male Hybrid III Anthropomorphic Test Device (ATD).

This Task contributed to OP1 by modeling NASCAR data for use in landing injury risk tools. The higher injury probabilities observed in NASCAR drivers were more relevant for this purpose than passenger car occupant protection systems.

Risk of Injury from Dynamic Loads

DL-201: We do not know how load dynamics and sex differences affect injury risk in spaceflight conditions and do not have adequate injury assessment reference values (IARVs) to mitigate the increased risk of injury to the crew.
