The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of sex, loading rate, and age on the
tensile material properties of human rib cortical bone over a wide range of subject …

Despite safety advances, thoracic injuries in motor vehicle crashes remain a significant
source of morbidity and mortality, and rib fractures are the most prevalent of thoracic injuries …

Rib fractures are a common and serious outcome of blunt thoracic trauma and their
likelihood is greater in older individuals. Osteoporotic bone loss is a well‐documented aging …

Rib fractures remain the most frequent thoracic injury in motor vehicle crashes.
Computational human body models (HBMs) can be used to simulate these injuries and …

Here we present detailed regional bone thickness and cross‐sectional measurements from
full adult ribs using high resolution CT scans processed with a cortical bone mapping …

Rib fractures are common traumatic injuries, with links to increased morbidity and mortality.
Finite element ribs from human body models have struggled to predict the force …

Abstract Evaluating Behind Armor Blunt Trauma (BABT) is a critical step in preventing non-
penetrating injuries in military personnel, which can result from the transfer of kinetic energy …

Rib fractures represent a common injury type due to blunt chest trauma, affecting hospital
stay and mortality especially in elderly patients. Factors promoting rib fragility, however, are …

The chest is one of the most frequently injured body regions in motor vehicle collisions.
However, the relationship between the structural and material properties of the ribs has …

Objective: The goal of the study was to develop experimental chest loading conditions that
would cause up to Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) 2 chest injuries in elderly occupants in …
