  • source of Head forms

    Many thanks to all those who responded to my request for companies supplying
    head forms for impact testing. I received the following responses and
    several members of the list requested the information to be passed on to
    them. I hope this reposting to the list will suffice.

    Sincerely,
    Rob

    Good Morning Dr. Newton,

    I won't give you a list because there is to my knowledge, not much of a list
    to give. Depending on the type of testing you want to do their are only a
    few headforms and therefore manufactures that I am aware of. If you could
    tell me what kind of impact testing you want to do, I'd be happy to ask
    around the company and compile a list and give a recommendation.

    I have several contacts for biomechanical test headforms. The headform you
    require depends upon the type of headform that you need ... and different
    headforms are available from different people.

    If you need a NOCSAE headform, you need to contact Mr. Dave Halstead at U.
    Tenn
    (dhalstead@utk.edu) or Dr. Trey Crisco (joseph_crisco@brown.edu). This
    headform
    is also called the WSU headform and was originally designed by Voigt Hodgson
    at
    Wayne State University (WSU).

    If you need headforms to test for DOT 218 (motorcycle helmets), then you
    need to
    contact Controlled Castings in Plainview, NY - the last phone number I have
    is
    516 349 1717

    If you need ISO headforms for testing to ASTM or CPSC standards (i.e.
    bicycle
    helmets, skateboard helmets, etc.), then you need to contact Mr. Serge
    Dextraze
    of Cadex. They are located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada ... the phone number
    is
    450 348 6774 (Fax#: 450 348 7157)

    If you need to conduct automobile like impacts (i.e. into a windshield or a
    windshield header), then you should purchase a hybrid III headform
    (basically a
    crash test dummy) --- you can purchase these from First Technology in
    Plymouth
    Michigan (info@ftss.com) 734 451 7878, FAX 734 451 9549.

    Good Luck,
