The present paper explores a series of articles in the literature which deal with impact
biomechanics of the head and thorax/abdomen segments, investigating the “sex specific …

The American population is getting heavier and automated vehicles will accommodate
unconventional postures. While studies replicating mid-size and upright fore-aft seated …

The objective of the present study was to analyze injuries and their patterns to obese
occupants in frontal impacts with upright and reclined postures using experimental data …

The objective of this study was to compare the kinematics of the head-neck, torso, pelvis,
and lower extremities and document injuries and their patterns to small female occupants in …

Two series of nine frontal sled tests were conducted to evaluate the behavior of the Hybrid III
and Thor-α dummies. The first series was conducted at 50 kph with airbag and 4 kN force …

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 …

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 …

The objective of this study was to compare the kinematics of the head-neck, torso, pelvis,
and lower extremities and document injuries and their patterns to small female occupants in …

Thoracic injuries are one of the dominant causes of fatalities and severe injuries in car
crashes today. THORAX-FP7 is a collaborative medium scale project under the Seventh …

In recent years, the overriding purpose of Automobile Industries has transformed into
