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 …

A three-dimensional, 54-degree-of-freedom computer model of the head/neck system is
presented and discussed. The model consists of nine rigid bodies representing the head …

Two mathematical head-neck models have been developed using MADYMO: a global
model and a detailed one. The global model comprises rigid head and vertebrae connected …

An efficient method for gross-motion simulation of head/neck dynamics in accidents and
high acceleration environments is presented. The method uses finite-segment modelling to …

The purpose of this study is to predict human response to, and potential damage from,
impact loading by using numerical and physical models to monitor the head and thoracic …

Motor vehicle accidents continue to be a leading cause of cervical spine injury despite a
conscientious effort to improve occupant safety. Accurately predicting occupant head and …

Study Design. A cervical spine biomechanical investigation using multibody dynamics.
Objective. To develop a comprehensive cervical spine multibody dynamics model …

Most anthropomorphic test devices possess both an upper neck and a lower neck load cell
to measure the risk of neck injury in crash simulations. For post‐mortem human subject …

As the structural link between the head and chest, the neck plays a vital role in determining
the dynamics of the head during indirect impact. This paper discusses the factors involved in …

Described herein is a finite element model of the human head-neck complex that is used to
simulate the dynamics of the head and neck subjected to low and high lateral deceleration …
