Abstract

This paper describes finite element simulations of human ribs in lateral impact. The goal of these simulations is to determine the ratio of the lateral stiffness of an adult's thorax to the lateral stiffness of a six year old child's thorax. The results of the analysis is a proposed lateral thoracic impact response of the fiftieth percentile six year old child.
