Abstract

PROPOSED IS PHASE 1 OF A PHASED RESEARCH PROJECT AIMED AT PROVIDING NECESSARY DATA TO ASSIST IN THE MORE EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT DESIGN OF HEAD AND FACE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR MEN AND WOMEN. THIS IS TO BE ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH STATISTICAL (MULTI-VARIATE DISCRIMINATE ANALYSIS) EVALUATION OF AN EXISTING U.S. ARMY DATA SET OF 30 HEAD AND FACE DIMENSIONS FOR 100 MALEAND 200 FEMALE SUBJECTS. THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF THE RESEARCH IS TO QUANTIFY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE SEXES ON RELEVANT HEAD AND FACIAL CHARACTERISTICSAND PRODUCE PARA METER PROFILES TO AID IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SIZING SYSTEMS. A FURTHER OBJECTIVE IS TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE EXISTING DATA SET IS STATISTICALLY AND PRACTICALLY ADEQUATE AND IF NOT, TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE FOLLOW-ON PHASE.
