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 …

Globally there are more than 350,000 PTW fatalities each year. Safety concepts to protect
Powered Two-Wheeler (PTW) riders exist and are being developed further, but they need …

A finite element (FE)–guided mathematical surrogate modeling methodology is presented
for evaluating relative injury trends across varied vehicular impact conditions. The …

There is a need to improve the protection to the thorax of occupants in frontal car crashes.
Finite element human body models are a more detailed representation of humans than …

Understanding the impact severity of unmanned aircraft system (UAS) collisions with the
human body remains a challenge and is essential to the development of safe UAS …

Objective: A 3-phase real-world motor vehicle crash (MVC) reconstruction method was
developed to analyze injury variability as a function of precrash occupant position for 2 full …

Recent developments in the concept of UAS operations in urban areas have led to risk
concerns of UAS collision with human. To better understand this risk, head and neck injuries …

Thoracolumbar spine injuries in motor vehicle crashes are occurring and the mechanisms
are poorly understood. It has been hypothesized to be connected to vehicle's restraint …

The effect of belt configuration, load limiting and pretensioning on the protection of elderly
occupants was evaluated using the THOR ATD and the human body model THUMS TUC in …

Finite-element human body models (FE-HBMs) can be used to evaluate restraint systems by
predicting thoracic injury. The biofidelity assessment of an FE-HBM Total HUman Model for …
