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 …

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) …

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 …

A multi-scale validation of the capability of the SAFER human body model (v9) to predict the
risk for an occupant to sustain two or more rib fractures in vehicle crashes was carried out …

Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the potential chest injury benefits
and influence on occupant kinematics of a belt system with independent control of the …

Age and sex‐related variations in sternum morphology may affect the thoracic injury
tolerance. Male and female sternum size and shape variation was characterized for ages 0 …
