RISComparison of Strain Rosettes and Digital Image Correlation for Measuring Vertebral Body Strain
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Strain gages are commonly used to measure bone strain, but only provide strain at a single location. Digital image correlation (DIC) is an optical technique that provides the displacement, and therefore strain, over an ...
Variability in Body Shape, Superficial Soft Tissue Geometry, and Seatbelt Fit Relative to the Pelvis in Automotive Postures—Methods for Volunteer Data Collection With Open Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Variability in body shape and soft tissue geometry have the potential to affect the body's interaction with automotive safety systems. In this study, we developed a methodology to capture information on body shape, superficial ...
Age Does Not Affect the Material Properties of Expanded Polystyrene Liners in Field Used Bicycle Helmets
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Bicycle helmet foam liners absorb energy during impacts. Our goal was to determine if the impact attenuation properties of expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam used in bicycle helmets change with age. Foam cores were extracted ...
Density Variation in the Expanded Polystyrene Foam of Bicycle Helmets and Its Influence on Impact Performance
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Bicycle helmets attenuate head impacts using expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam liners. The EPS density plays a key role in determining the helmet and head response during an impact. Prior pilot work in our lab showed that ...
