Head neck responses from volunteer experiments, as obtained in various loading directions
by the Naval Biodynamics Laboratory, represent a unique set of data in the field of …

The cervical spine is one of the most complex structures in the human skeleton and its
behaviour during impact is still poorly understood. Therefore, there is a need for further …

This study involved the generation, validation and evaluation of the finite element muscle
model of the human neck, with a long term goal of predicting the cervical spine motion. The …

A 3D Finite Element model was developed under the FE code Radioss, to explore the
mechanisms of injury occurring during various kinds of impacts. It represents the head and …

A computational head-neck model was developed to more efficiently study dynamic
responses of the head and neck to near-vertex head impact. The model consisted of rigid …

ABSTRACT A three-dimensional finite element model of a human neck has been developed
in an effort to study the mechanics of cervical spine while subjected to impacts. The neck …

Background: Musculoskeletal models served to analyze head–neck motion and injury
during automotive impact. Although muscle activation is known to affect the kinematic …

A second-generation mechanical head-neck model was constructed, instrumented and
subjected to pendulum impact tests against both the head and torso and directed from the …

Numerical human body models that can predict occupant head and neck responses are
essential for the development and ass Page 1 Abstract Numerical human body models that can …

An eleven-element lumped-parameter two-dimensional model of the human head-neck
system was developed to predict the motion of the head and neck under impact loadings …
