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. en Wake Forest University FEM Full Body Model Injury Biomechanics Modeling Seated Occupant Simulation Validation of the Global Human Body Models Consortium Mid-Sized Male Model in Lateral Impacts and Sled Tests Thesis Gayzik, Francis S Stitzel, Joel D Untaroiu, Costin D Biomedical Engineering 2014-09-05 restricted
