This study evaluated the response of restrained post-mortem human subjects (PMHS) in 40
km/h frontal sled tests. Eight male PMHS were restrained on a rigid planar seat by a custom …

The objective of this study was to generate biomechanical corridors from post-mortem
human subjects (PMHS) in two different seatback recline angles in 56 km/h sled tests …

The purpose of this study was to quantify the biomechanical response of the human thorax
during dynamic shoulder belt loading representative of that seen in a severe automotive …

The literature contains a wide range of response data describing the biomechanics of
isolated body regions. Current data for the validation of frontal anthropomorphic test devices …

Frontal impacts with reclined occupants are rare but severe, and they are anticipated to
become more common with the introduction of vehicles with automated driving capabilities …

This paper presents thoracic response corridors developed using fifteen post-mortem
human subjects (PMHS) subjected to single and double diagonal belt, distributed, and hub …

Injury to the thorax is the predominant cause of fatalities in crash-involved automobile
occupants over the age of 65, and many elderly-occupant automobile fatalities occur in …

Very little experimental research has focused on the kinematics, dynamics, and injuries of
rear-seated occupants. This study seeks to develop a baseline response for rear-seated …

Since the 1970s, many biofidelity targets for the thorax in frontal impact have been proposed
for both dummy and finite element (FE) model application. This paper proposes an update …

Computer models are increasingly used in the design of crash protection systems, yet the
experimental data available for benchmarking these models is limited. The goal of this study …
