A MADYMO Model of Near-Side Human Occupants in Side Impacts
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The protection of automotive occupants against broadside collisions is of current interest due to the implementation of a new Federal standard on side impact. There is controversy as to the ...
A Proposed Injury Threshold for Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Traumatic brain injuries constitute a significant portion of injury resulting from automotive collisions, motorcycle crashes, and sports collisions. Brain injuries not only represent a serious ...
Finite Element Aortic Injury Reconstruction of Near Side Lateral Impacts Using Real World Crash Data
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Traumatic rupture of the aorta (TRA) remains the second most common cause of death associated with motor vehicle crashes, only less prevalent than brain injury. On average, nearly 8000 people ...
Effect of Assumed Stiffness and Mass Density on the Impact Response of the Human Chest Using a Three-Dimensional FE Model of the Human Body
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The mass density, Young’s modulus (E), tangent modulus (Et), and yield stress (σy) of the human ribs, sternum, internal organs, and muscles play important roles when determining impact responses ...
