Abstract
The authors discuss the use of Tramasaf, a laboratory instrument that will test the energy absorption capability of automotive components, and will concurrently measure the extent of trauma to the human forehead. The most recently published biomechanics data has required a revision of the original development goals for the device. The paper describes these new goals, the stage of the progress, and some applications which verify the utility of the device.
