A new structural analysis method is being developed for incorporation into the seat/occupant model (Program SOM-LA), which is intended for use in evaluating the crashworthiness of aircraft seats. The analytical technique is described, and its capabilities are demonstrated in the simulation of the dynamic test of an actual aircraft seat. Computer simulation results are presented and compared with the test data.
