2. 11. Development of a Mechanical Model for Rear Impacts: Evaluation of Volunteer Responses and Validation of the Model

   Author : Johan Davidsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; whiplash; validation; rear impact; dummy; seat; spine; rear-end collision; volunteer; BioRID; neck;

   Abstract : The objective of this research has been to develop a biofidelic crash-test dummy to facilitate design of seat systems with enhanced occupant protection in rear-end collisions. These frequent collisions may cause soft-tissue neck injuries to occupants in struck vehicles. READ MORE

4. 12. Neck-Injuries in Rear-End Car Collisions: Sites and Biomechanical Causes of the Injuries, Test Methods and Preventive Measures

   Author : Mats Svensson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : The present work addresses the problem of neck injuries following rear-end car collisions. Biomechanics and sites of the injuries have been investigated. A new dummy neck has been developed and used to study the influence of different seat properties on occupant kinematics. READ MORE

5. 13. 3D Finite Element Modeling of Cervical Musculature and its Effect on Neck Injury Prevention

   Author : Sofia Hedenstierna; Hans von Holst; Peter Halldin; Jac Wismans; KTH; []
   Keywords : Finite Element; Cervical Musculature; Neck injury prediction; Continuum Mechanics; Solid Elements; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : Injuries to the head and neck are potentially the most severe injuries in humans, since they may damage the nervous system. In accidents, the cervical musculature stabilizes the neck in order to prevent injury to the spinal column and is also a potential site for acute muscle strain, resulting in neck pain. READ MORE

6. 14. Non-fatal injuries to car occupants : injury assessment and analysis of impacts causing short- and long-term consequences with special reference to neck injuries

   Author : Maria Krafft; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This thesis addresses non-fatal injuries leading to disability following motor vehicle collisions. The main focus is on minor (AIS 1) neck injuries, also called whiplash injuries. READ MORE

7. 15. Traumatic Brain Injuries: Animal Experiments and Numerical Simulations to Support the Development of a Brain Injury Criterion

   Author : Jacobo Antona; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; traumatic brain injuries; traffic safety; concussions; animal experiments; finite element method;

   Abstract : Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) account for about half of the 1 300 000 annual traffic related deaths and the 50 000 000 injuries worldwide. The burden of TBI is ethically unacceptable and economically unsustainable. READ MORE
