Abstract

In support of a program to better characterize the behaviour of the human chest during blunt sternal impact test were done. Additional questions persist concerning whether the anterior and posterior regions of the chest behave highly damped masses or oscillate after impact, the relationship between force delivered to the surface of the body and the underlying regions, and the influence of air compressed in the lung on thoracic mechanics.
