abstract="Described herein is a Finite Element model of the human body for the purpose of simulating damage during vehicle side impact situations. The FE-model consists of the skeleton bones modelled with shell elements and the surrounding soft tissue representing muscles, ligaments and internal organs modelled with solid, membrane and spring-damper elements. Results of the model validation with cadaver impactor test data are presented which show satisfactory correlation. An occupant-door side impact simulation shows the practical use of the model.   <p>Language: en</p>",
