2. 1. Active Muscle Responses in a Finite Element Human Body Model

   Author : Jonas Östh; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; feedback control; autonomous braking; finite element; human body model; active muscle; posture maintenance; reflexive response;

   Abstract : The development of automotive safety systems is moving towards an integration of systems thatare active before and during an impact. Consequently, there is a need to make a combinedanalysis of both the pre-crash and the in-crash phases, which leads to new requirements forHuman Body Models (HBMs) that today are used for crash simulations.

4. 2. Thoracic injuries in frontal car crashes: risk assessment using a finite element human body model

   Author : Manuel Mendoza-Vazquez; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; finite element; Thoracic injury criteria; rib fracture; human body model; real-world crash data; survival analysis;

   Abstract : Accident data show that there is a clear need to improve the protection to occupants’ thorax in frontal car crashes. For this purpose, models that can predict the risk of injuries and assess the occupant protection offered by different restraint systems are needed. READ MORE

5. 3. Rib and Thoracic Response in Frontal Car Crashes: A Study Using a Finite Element Human Body Model

   Author : Manuel Mendoza-Vazquez; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Frontal crash; THUMS; thoracic injury criteria; Finite Element; Human Body Model; rib fracture;

   Abstract : Traditionally, restraint systems have been evaluated with Anthropomorphic Test Devices (ATDs) and the thoracic injury criteria have been based on parameters assessed using ATDs, such as chest compression. ATDs have limitations since they are only a gross representation of the human body. READ MORE

6. 4. An Average Female Head-Neck Finite Element Model with Reflexive Neck Muscles

   Author : I Putu Alit Putra; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Finite Element; Human Body Model; Whiplash Injury; Active Neck Muscle;

   Abstract : Several factors potentially contribute to the risk of whiplash injuries; one of them is the neck muscle activities. Muscle activities in the neck have been shown to influence the head-neck kinematics during whiplash-like rear impacts. READ MORE

7. 5. Towards the Inclusion of Pelvis Population Variance in Human Body Models

   Author : Erik Brynskog; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Finite Element Human Body Model; Sparse Principal Component Analysis; Global Sensitivity Analysis; Pelvis; Population Variance;

   Abstract : With a future large-scale introduction of autonomous vehicles, the proportion of intersection crashes on the total number of motor vehicle crashes is expected to increase. The pelvis is frequently exposed to high loads in several of these impacts. READ MORE
