Abstract

Thoracic impact response data for unembalmed human cadavers are reviewed after which a volunteer study of muscle tensing as related to thoracic stiffness at low force and deflection levels is discussed. The chest structures of five currently available dummies were evaluated for blunt impact force-deflection response, and a mathematical model has been developed which simulates the dynamic force-deflection response of the human thorax under blunt impact.
