Overview
Humanetics formed a cooperative alliance with Veridian Engineering, Inc. to design, develop and produce the “Hybrid Universal Research Dummy” (HURD). The HURD manikin has been developed for the aerospace industry as an advanced supplement to the GARD dummy.
The HURD incorporates the following features:
- Newer type of manikin for more readily available replacement parts
- Increased limb motion for more realistic human simulation
- Newer joint design for better adjustment of joint resistance frictions
- Rib type chest design which more closely matches human response
- Up-to-date instrumentation mounting capability which follows the currently accepted aerospace testing practices
- Capability for on-board data acquisition with support batteries and instrumentation
- Head allows mounting of a 6-axis load cell
- Neck is an automotive Hybrid II for more realistic head kinematics
- Numerous interchangeable parts with those used on other modern ejection test manikins
- Upgradeable for additional instrumentation capability
Standard equipment included in the base price of this device:
- Accelerometer mounts for head, chest, sternum, thoracic and pelvis*
- Structural replacements for all load cells
