Influences of human thorax variability on population rib fracture risk prediction using human body models [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023 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 in individual factors such as material properties and geometry of

Comparison of Neck Injury Criteria Values Across Human Body Models of Varying Complexity [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020 Due to the severity and frequency of cervical spine injuries, the neck injury criterion (Nij) was developed to provide a quantitative relationship between forces and moments of the upper neck with accompanied injury risk. The present study was undertaken

Evaluation of 6 and 10 Year-Old Child Human Body Models in Emergency Events. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Emergency events can influence a child's kinematics prior to a car-crash, and thus its interaction with the restraint system. Numerical Human Body Models (HBMs) can help understand the behaviour of children in emergency events. The kinematic responses of

The next frontier in healthcare: perspectives and discussion on building trust and societal acceptance of digital humans in the essential framework of impact biomechanics [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and BiotechnologyThe digital twin: this term present in many scientific fields corresponds to a virtual model of a physical object. Used in several framework on the physics, the digital twin must be fidelic to reality, by closely reproducing the behavior and interaction ...
