Neck injuries resulting from rear-end collisions rank among the top safety problems and
have serious implications for society. In an attempt to minimize the severity of neck injuries in …

ABSTRACT A mathematical modeling study is conducted to investigate neck coupling in
helmeted head impacts. The main objective of the study is to provide direction for the …

Relatively few biomechanical models exist aimed at quantifying the mechanical risk factors
associated with neck pain. In addition, there is a need to validate spinal-rhythm techniques …

The complexity of many biomechanical systems, such as the human body musculoskeletal
structure, can render their modeling and analysis a painstaking task. The incorporation of …

This study developed a three-dimensional biomechanical model to investigate the internal
loads on the human neck that result from isometrically generated loads resisted by a force …

The aim of this study was to conduct a material sensitivity analysis using a head-neck finite
element model (FEM). The model included the skull, C1-T1 vertebrae, intervertebral discs …

Prevention of neck injuries due to complex loading, such as occurs in traffic accidents,
requires knowledge of neck injury mechanisms and tolerances. The influence of muscle …

The dynamic response of the human head to side impact was studied by 2-dimensional
finite element modeling. Three models were formulated in this study. Model I is an …

This paper deals with the human head response to a sudden motion without direct contact
with another solid object, ie to non-contact impact. A computational simulation approach is …

Objective: To evaluate a prototype sagittal plane surrogate neck model designed to provide
a biofidelic response to head-first impacts with a straightened cervical posture. Methods …
