Abstract

A large number of experiments involving cadavers have been performed for the purpose of enhancing the state of knowledge concerning tolerance levels and protection criteria relevant to side-impact conditions. Analysis of the rib charaterization test findings made it possible to define a thoracic resistance index enabling the establishment of a classification of subjects.
