In this paper, an objective method for the conversion of post-crash vehicle deformation to crash energy is presented. While severity assessment standard test configurations relatively robust, bias in real-world reconstruction a well-known problem. A reduce constructed by focusing on deformation, principle direction force ( PDOF), and type VT) only. The analysis was restricted 12 PDOF six VT. vo...

Two full-frontal Crash Injury Research and Engineering Network (CIREN) motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) were reconstructed using finite element (FE) models. A FE simplified vehicle model (SVM) was tuned to mimic the frontal crash response of the CIREN case vehicle using frontal NCAP crash test data. The Total HUman Model for Safety (THUMS) was positioned in 120 pre-crash configurations per case wit...

The paper seeks to highlight and analyze the relationship between occupants’ displacements of chest pelvis deceleration vehicle in frontal crash accidents. A testing scheme including 5 groups dynamic tests was devised conducted, totally kinds acceleration pulses were employed simulate real crash. experimental finding indicates that integral values shapes vehicle’s can influence some extent, thu...

OBJECTIVES Pulmonary contusions (PCs) are a common injury sustained in motor vehicle collisions. The crash and occupant characteristics of PC in motor vehicle collisions are currently unknown. Additionally, the clinical significance and the impact on mortality have not been determined. METHODS A retrospective review of the Crash Injury Research and Engineering Network database with inclusion ...

To assess elderly occupant protection in frontal as well as near-side impacts two restraint systems were designed to reduce loading of the chest and thereby reduce the risk of rib fractures which are common among the elderly population. The frontal protection system is called the split buckle (SB) system, and the side impact protection system is a pre-crash dual airbag (Pre-Crash SAB). The spli...

Occupant injury in real world vehicle accidents can be significantly affected by a set of crash characteristics, of which impact direction and impact location (or damage location) in general scale interval (e.g., frontal impact is frequently defined as general damage to vehicle frontal end with impact angle range of 11-1 o'clock) have been identified to associate with injury outcome. The effect...

Automobile crashes are the largest cause of death for pregnant females and the leading cause of traumatic fetal injury mortality in the United States. A previously validated MADYMO computer model of a 30-week pregnant occupant was used in this study to investigate the pregnant occupant response in a severe frontal motor vehicle crash. This study presents simulations of 26 different severe car c...
