N2  - The objective of this study was to develop, implement, and validate the human articulating joint model parameters for crash dynamics simulations. Measured human joint data were used to model the elbow, knee, shoulder, hip, and ankle joints, resulting in detailed joint stop contours and resistive torque properties. Simulation results, including graphics and various response time histories were compared with results of human volunteer sled tests. In spite of needed improvements, this preliminary validation shows that the articulated total body model with the developed joint parameters predicts both major features of the human motion and biodynamic responses very well in frontal impacts. The new joint model parameters offer many improvements over previous joint properties.     <p>Language: en</p>
