TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Global and a Detailed Mathematical Model for Head-Neck Dynamics JO - Proceedings: Stapp Car Crash Conference A1 - de Jager, M A1 - Sauren, A A1 - Thunnissen, J A1 - Wismans, Jac SP - 269 EP - 281 VL - 40 IS - N2 - A detailed three-dimensional mathematical model describing the dynamic behavior of the human head and neck in automotive accidents is developed. The strategy is to proceed from a relatively simple model (the global model) for gaining insight into head-neck dynamics toward a complex model (the detailed model) providing the loads and deformations of the tissues of the neck. The models have been implemented in the integrated multibody/finite-element package MADYMO, version 5.1.1 of the TNO Crash Safety Research Centre.
