Mechanical Resonances in the Human Body |

During his presentation, Sven used the following diagram, which he referred to as "Sven Jr.", to show the various mechanical resonances in the human body (click on the picture for a detailed diagram - 32k): I've seen the human body modelled as a collection of weights in aeronautical engineering, as a collection of capacitors and resistors in static discharge studies, and now as a collection of springs in mechanical engineering. Are there other human body models out there in other branches of engineering? Let me know... Alex McEachern |
September, 1998 Ed Russo of Dranetz-BMI points out that, in ballistic testing, gelatin is used as a model of the human body. The caption to the picture at right (from American Guardian's 10/97 issue) refers to "ten percent ballistic gelatin", but it isn't clear what the "ten percent" measures. |
