| Abstract | This report describes results from the Option C component of a research program aimed at improving crashworthiness of passenger train workstation tables. Research conducted in the Base, Option A, and Option B components of the program was focused on developing a prototype design for a crashworthy workstation table, constructing a number of tables, and testing them. A prototype crashworthy workstation table was successfully tested as part of the full-scale train-to-train test of CEM equipment conducted in March of 2006. The Option C activities described here were focused on characterizing the quasi-static and dynamic force-crush behavior of the prototype workstation table in order to define performance requirements for future workstation table designs. |
