RISAssessment of Thorax Finite Element Model Response for Behind Armor Blunt Trauma Impact Loading Using an Epidemiological Database
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Nonperforating ballistic impacts on thoracic armor can cause blunt injuries, known as behind-armor blunt trauma (BABT). To evaluate the potential for this injury, the back face deformation (BFD) imprinted into a clay backing ...
Head Kinematic Measurements and Finite Element Modeling of Canadian Armed Forces Operators Firing Three Long-Range Rifle Configurations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Abstract. Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) symptoms have been associated with repeated exposure to the recoil of long-range rifles. However, there is limited physical data on head responses to rifle recoil and no consistent ...
Load-Sharing and Kinematics of the Human Cervical Spine Under Multi-Axial Transverse Shear Loading: Combined Experimental and Computational Investigation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The cervical spine experiences shear forces during everyday activities and injurious events yet there is a paucity of biomechanical data characterizing the cervical spine under shear loading. This study aimed to (1) ...
