ABSTRACT The present study evaluates shoulder kinematics of the Hybrid III and THOR NT, with the first version of a new shoulder design (SD-1), in 45° far-side, full frontal and 30° near-side collisions. In total eleven dummy tests were conducted in the three collision angles, while film and instrument data were generated and compared with those of PMHS data from Törnvall (2008). For the 45° fa...

This paper explores how r isk is being discussed and considered in local s i t i ng decisions re la t ing to major hazard ins ta l la t ions in B r i t a i n . I t considers how r isk debates and decisions can be improved to ensure that local communities can par t ic ipate e f f ec t i ve l y , and thus, have confidence in hazard cont ro l . The observations are based on the author's research i...

The au thor recen t1y prepared a review article ( 1) on high -energy electron scattering and its relation to nuclear structure. In that paper various types of phenonema were discussed, important formulas of scattering theory were given, and experimental results on the sizes of nucleons and nuclei were summarized. The purpose of the present article is somewhat different, although it, too, will b...

Vital to the prevention of work-related ill-health (WRIH) is the availability of good quality data regarding WRIH burden and risks. Physician-based surveillance systems such as The Health and Occupation Research (THOR) network in the UK are often established in response to limitations of statutory, compensation-based systems for addressing certain epidemiological aspects of disease surveillance...

sensitivity analysis. ABSTRACT Anthropometric test devices (ATDs), commonly referred to as crash test dummies, are tools used to conduct aerospace and spaceflight safety evaluations. Finite element (FE) analysis provides an effective complement to these evaluations. In this work a FE model of the Test Device for Human Occupant Restraint (THOR) dummy was developed, calibrated, and validated for ...

BACKGROUND A number of data sources help inform policy decisions regarding the risk of work-related ill-health. AIMS To compare self-reported and medically reported data from multiple sources and discuss their benefits and limitations in providing estimates of work-related ill-health incidence in Great Britain. METHODS Sources included The Health & Occupation Reporting network (THOR & THOR-...
