USER MANUAL FOR AIR BAG RESTRAINT PROGRAM ABAG 19

The work is an extension of an earlier air bag program. Since that time the program was widely used and modified to suit specialized purposes generated by the program users. The major tasks covered by this report have been the collection, interpretation, clarification and documentation of the accumulated but undescribed changes evolved by the various users. The work scope did not include possible further refinements in the interest of added model flexibility and accuracy. The original computer program was written in BASIC+. This effort included the conversion of the modified program to FORTRAN IV as employed by the Honeywell 6080 computer.
