The crash test dummy, an important tool for car crash safety tests, is of great significance to
explore the injury biomechanics of the occupants and improve the safety performance of the …

Rib cage morphology changes with age and sex are expected to affect thoracic injury
mechanisms and tolerance, particularly for vulnerable populations such as pediatrics and …

Introduction: A simplified and computationally efficient human body finite element model is
presented. The model complements the Global Human Body Models Consortium (GHBMC) …

Background Improved understanding of the occupant loading conditions in real world
crashes is critical for injury prevention and new vehicle design. The purpose of this study …

Validation is a critical step in finite element model (FEM) development. This study focuses on
the validation of the Global Human Body Models Consortium full body average male …

To mitigate the societal impact of motor vehicle crash, researchers are using a variety of
tools, including human body finite element models (FEMs). Such models are often …

Finite element human body models, comprising detailed anatomical descriptions, can
complement anthropomorphic test devi Page 1 Abstract Finite element human body models …

Objective: The shape, size, bone density, and cortical thickness of the thoracic skeleton vary
significantly with age and sex, which can affect the injury tolerance, especially in at-risk …

To enable analysis of the risk of occupants sustaining rib fractures in a crash, generic finite
element models of human ribs, one through twelve, were developed. The generic ribs …

The aging population is a growing concern as the increased fragility and frailty of the elderly
results in an elevated incidence of injury as well as an increased risk of mortality and …
