| Abstract | This report documents the methods and results of qualification-type testing performed to evaluate the durability of the THOR 50th Percentile Male Dummy (THOR-50M). This evaluation concluded that the THOR-50M exhibited acceptable durability when exposed to elevated energy qualification-type tests. The durability assessment began with a baseline qualification test, and then the input energy levels were increased by 10 percent, 20 percent, and 30 percent prior to performing a final baseline test. The responses produced during the pre-durability baseline tests and post-durability baseline tests were evaluated against the qualification corridors, and the THOR-50M’s durability was deemed acceptable where the dummy passed the qualification requirements and didn’t show visible signs of deterioration. |
