Thoracic responses and injuries to male postmortem human subjects (PMHS) in rear-facing seat configurations in high-speed frontal impacts
Objective: One potential nonstandard seating configuration for vehicles with automated
driving systems (ADS) is a reclined seat that is rear-facing when in a frontal collision. There …

Effect of data censoring on thoracic injury risk curves
Objective The first objective was to evaluate the effect of using less censored (ie, exact and
interval-censored) data on thoracic injury risk curves and the resulting injury probabilities …

Influences of human thorax variability on population rib fracture risk prediction using human body models
Rib fractures remain a common injury for vehicle occupants in crashes. The risk of a human
sustaining rib fractures from thorax loading is highly variable, potentially due to a variability …

A novel approach to scaling age-, sex-, and body size-dependent thoracic responses using structural properties of human ribs
Thoracic injuries are frequently observed in motor vehicle crashes, and rib fractures are the
most common of those injuries. Thoracic response targets have previously been developed …
