Abstract

There are currently two accepted criteria for assessment act exposures. Studies have shown an interaction between the deformation velocity and level of compression during impact, resulting in a greater compression tolerance for low- speed impact than for high- speed loadings. High- speed thoracic impact can cause critical or fatal injury in physiologic experiments before exceeding the acceleration or compression tolerance.
