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

Development of a shoulder muscle feedback controller for human body models [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and BiotechnologyIntroductionState-of-the-art finite element human body models (FE HBMs) with active muscle controllers can predict occupant kinematics during braking and steering, which are typical pre-crash interventions aiming at avoiding crashes.

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

How Cognitive Models of Human Body Experience Might Push Robotics
Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2019 In the last decades, cognitive models of multisensory integration in human beings have been developed and applied to model human body experience. Recent research indicates that Bayesian and connectionist models might push developments in various branches
