In this study, we investigated and assessed the dependence of dummy head injury
mitigation on the side curtain airbag and occupant distance under a side impact of a Dodge …

Occupant safety remains one of the most challenging and significant design considerations
in the automotive and transportation industry. Nevertheless, independently developed active …

The protection of underground civil infrastructure continues to be a high priority for
transportation and transit security agencies. In particular, rail transit tunnels running under …

A finite element (FE)–guided mathematical surrogate modeling methodology is presented
for evaluating relative injury trends across varied vehicular impact conditions. The …

Large-scale inflatable structures have become a viable alternative for sealing and isolating
segments of large-diameter conduits or tunnel sections to prevent the propagation of …

Quantitative comparison of biodynamic responses, simulated using the Patil or Liu lumped
parameter models, were carried out with respect to experimental anthropomorphic test …

An airbag system is designed to reduce the accident outcome on the car occupants. The
airbags deployment against manikins is severely tested according to international …

In helicopter crashes, occupants endure instantaneous vertical impact forces, which can
lead to injuries. To accurately forecast the dynamic response of occupants in such …

Deploying an airbag when a vehicle occupant is too close to it can cause injury. An adaptive
Airbag Control Unit (ACU) would improve the effectiveness of the safety system, provided it …

The airbag deployment against an out of position (OP) occupant is critical. The OP condition
can be hardly expected during design, while a too close airbag deployment can cause …
