During future lunar missions, astronauts may be required to pilot vehicles while standing,
and the associated kinematic and injury response is not well understood. In this study, we …

Computational human body models (HBMs) provide the ability to explore numerous
candidate injury metrics ranging from local strain based criteria to global combined criteria …

Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) used in the battlefield cause damage to vehicles and
their occupants. The injury burden to the casualties is significant. The biofidelity and …

The lower extremity being closest to the detonation point, is the most injured anatomical
location due to blast loading. A numerical investigation is a cost-effective and time-efficient …

This study focuses on evaluating the response of the Total Human Model for Safety™ lower
extremity finite element model under blast loading. Biofidelity of the lower extremity model …

This study has investigated the response of the Total Human Model for Safety (THUMS)
lower extremity finite element model under blast loading. Response of the model was …

Spinal injuries are a concern for automotive applications, requiring large parametric studies
to understand spinal injury mechanisms under complex loading conditions. Finite element …

This study has investigated the response of Total Human Model for Safety (THUMS) lower
extremity finite element model under blast loading. Response of the model was estimated in …

Background: A common approach for HBM validation relies on comparing the
biomechanical response of the model to that of the PMHS. Despite these efforts, there have …
