RISPelvic Response of a Total Human Body Finite Element Model During Simulated Injurious Under Body Blast Impacts
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan have resulted in the increased exposure of military personnel to explosive threats. Combat-related pelvic fractures are a relatively new battlefield injury that poses a serious ...
Pilot Collection and Evaluation of Head Kinematics in Stock Car Racing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The goal of this work was to collect on-track driver head kinematics using instrumented mouthpieces and characterize environmental exposure to accelerations and vibrations. Six NASCAR drivers were instrumented with custom-fit ...
Effect of Strain Rate on the Material Properties of Human Liver Parenchyma in Unconfined Compression
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The liver is one of the most frequently injured organs in abdominal trauma. Although motor vehicle collisions are the most common cause of liver injuries, current anthropomorphic test devices are not equipped to predict ...
Head and Neck Response of a Finite Element Anthropomorphic Test Device and Human Body Model During a Simulated Rotary Wing Aircraft Impact
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A finite element (FE) simulation environment has been developed to investigate aviator head and neck response during a simulated rotarywing aircraft impact using both an FE anthropomorphic test device (ATD) and an FE human ...
Simulation of Occupant Response in Space Capsule Landing Configurations With Suit Hardware
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to compare the response of the total human model for safety (THUMS) human body finite element model (FEM) to experimental postmortem human subject (PMHS) test results and evaluate possible ...
Finite Element-Based Pelvic Injury Metric Creation and Validation in Lateral Impact for a Human Body Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Pelvic fractures are serious injuries resulting in high mortality and morbidity. The objective of this study is to develop and validate local pelvic anatomical, cross section-based injury risk metrics for a finite element ...
Lumbar Spine Response of Computational Finite Element Models in Multidirectional Spaceflight Landing Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The goals of this study are to compare the lumbar spine response variance between the hybrid III, test device for human occupant restraint (THOR), and global human body models consortium simplified 50th percentile (GHBMC ...
Biomechanical Evaluations of Ocular Injury Risk for Blast Loading
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Ocular trauma is one of the most common types of combat injuries resulting from the exposure of military personnel with improvised explosive devices. The injury mechanism associated with the primary blast wave is poorly ...
Validation of a Custom Instrumented Retainer Form Factor for Measuring Linear and Angular Head Impact Kinematics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Head impact exposure in popular contact sports is not well understood, especially in the youth population, despite recent advances in impact-sensing technology which has allowed widespread collection of real-time head ...
Multidirection Validation of a Finite Element 50th Percentile Male Hybrid III Anthropomorphic Test Device for Spaceflight Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The use of anthropomorphic test devices (ATDs) for calculating injury risk of occupants in spaceflight scenarios is crucial for ensuring the safety of crewmembers. Finite element (FE) modeling of ATDs reduces cost and time ...
