ABSTRACT A human body model representing a mid size male has been presented at the
1998 STAPP conference. A combination of modelling techniques was applied using rigid …

The human shoulder plays an important role in human posture and motion, especially in
scenarios in which humans need to achieve tasks with external loads. The complexity of the …

Despite the multi-linked architecture of the cervical spine, all previous studies that have
made estimations of mechanical properties of the neck have considered the head–neck …

This study was conducted to develop a three-dimensional finite element model of the human
cervical spine structure using data from the Visible Human Project. The developed model is …

This paper presents the development and study of a three-dimensional multi-body model of
the 50th percentile male human and discretized neck for the study of cervical spine injuries …

Human thoracic dynamic responses and injuries associated with frontal impact, side impact,
and belt loading were investigated and predicted using a complete human body finite …

Advanced computational human body models (HBM) enabling enhanced safety require
verification and validation at different levels or scales. Specifically, the motion segments …

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 …

A study was carried out using detailed traffic accident data from rear-end car collisions
involving Volvo cars. Vehicle and occupant related parameters influencing the risk of neck …

Several mathematical cervical models of the 50th percentile male have been developed and
used for impact biomechanics research. However, for the 50th percentile female no similar …
