Many of the military cushioning systems use some form the bulk cushioning material (e.g., plastic foam) as the cushion system. This provides a low-cost, lightweight cushioning system that is easily incorporated into the design; however, designers have some reservations concerning the use bulk cushinning systems in the military. One limiting factor is the difficulty the designer has in predicting the response of bulk cushioning materials when subjected to the extreme environmental conditions encountered under military deployment. The temperature sensitivity of these cushioning materials, which causes variations in the impact response, is a primary concern. It was shown in a recent study of thermoplastic foam cushioning systems that temperature had a significant effect on cushion system response. Therefore, temperature effects must be factored into the design of cushion systems using bulk cushioning materials. (DePo)
