Abstract

Detailed analysis of the autopsy records of sixteen fatalities in six side impact accidents was performed, in order to correlate the injury patterns with crash dynamics. In an effort to generate a widely applicable damage risk criterion for thoracic injury, a complex computer finite element model (FEM) of the thorax and of the abdomen is being developed.
