- abstract
- Motor vehicle crashes kill about 1.2 million people worldwide each year making it one of the most common causes of death. Side impact injuries are particularly dangerous and present different injury patterns than those seen in frontal crashes. This implies that any kind of predictive model must not only be validated in frontal impacting scenarios, but also lateral impacting scenarios. With finite element models being used as tools to study blunt injuries, it is critical to validate them in a range of loading scenarios to ensure accurate model outputs.
