Vezin p.1 COMPARISON OF HEAD AND THORAX CADAVER AND HYBRID III RESPONSES TO A FRONTAL SLED DECELERATION FOR THE VALIDATION OF A CAR OCCUPANT MATHEMATICAL MODEL
نویسندگان
چکیده
The responses of head and thorax of cadaver and Hybrid III were compared using frontal sled tests. Four pairs of tests were conducted at 50km/h. Two types of force-limiting belt were used. Subject instrumentation included head and spinal accelerometers. Following the tests, autopsies were performed. This research provided complementary information concerning human behaviour during sled test. Local differences for the thorax and the head behaviours between the two restraint systems were identified. Considering new restraint systems, the comparison of behaviours of the cadaver and the dummy indicates that improvements in the thoracic and head dummy responses have to be made. The results of this study will also be used as validation data for the development of a new numerical model of a driver (HUMOS model HUman MOdel for Safety).

Biomechanical Basis for Injury Criteria Used in Crashworthiness Regulations
A historical review of frontal and side impact regulations in the U.S.A. and Europe has been conducted. The biomechanical basis of injury criteria utilized in these regulations have been examined. It is shown that the biomechanical database utilized in the current impact regulations are based on research conducted before the mid-1980’s. Research conducted since then has not had any impact on re...
متن کاملGains from diversification on convex combinations: A majorization and stochastic dominance approach
By incorporating both majorization theory and stochastic dominance theory, this paper presents a general theory and a unifying framework for determining the diversification preferences of risk-averse investors and conditions under which they would unanimously judge a particular asset to be superior. In particular, we develop a theory for comparing the preferences of different convex combination...
متن کاملImproved immunogenicity of tetanus toxoid by Brucella abortus S19 LPS adjuvant.
BACKGROUND Adjuvants are used to increase the immunogenicity of new generation vaccines, especially those based on recombinant proteins. Despite immunostimulatory properties, the use of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as an adjuvant has been hampered due to its toxicity and pyrogenicity. Brucella abortus LPS is less toxic and has no pyrogenic properties compared to LPS from other gram negati...

A rigorous microscale electrokinetic model for hydrogel-colloid composites is adopted to compute macroscale profiles of electrolyte concentration, electrostatic potential, and hydrostatic pressure across membranes that separate electrolytes with different concentrations. The membranes are uncharged polymeric hydrogels in which charged spherical colloidal particles are immobilized and randomly d...
متن کاملPerturbative Analysis of Dynamical Localisation
In this paper we extend previous results on convergent perturbative solutions of the Schrödinger equation of a class of periodically timedependent two-level systems. The situation treated here is particularly suited for the investigation of two-level systems exhibiting the phenomenon of (approximate) dynamical localisation. We also present a convergent perturbative expansion for the secular fre...
