Abstract

The applicability of a slanted-rib thorax for human thorax simulation is examined. It is shown that the slanted-rib configuration, because of shearing induced in intercostal material, can produce the damping and non-linear stiffness that are observed in the human thorax. A method of analysis is developed for evaluating the force-deflection characteristics.
