Abstract

In the field of numerical simulation, the finite element method provides a virtual tool to study human tolerance and potential trauma under crash situations. The objectives of this work are to show how medical and biomechanical interpretation of numerical simulations can be used to postulate on human injuries during crash situations. This methodology was applied to Whiplash trauma analysis and pedestrian knee injury using both HUMOS and LLMS FE models. A detailed analysis of kinematics of joints, stress levels in hard tissues, strains and pressure levels in soft tissues was used to postulate on the chronology and patterns of injuries.
