A finite element model of a mid-size adult occupant has been developed in order to estimate
overall injuries in traffic accident situations. Bones, ligaments, tendons, flesh, and skin are …

Although Head Injury Criterion (HIC) is an effective criterion for head injuries caused by
linear acceleration such as skull fractures, no criteria for head injuries caused by rotational …

Injuries of the human brain and spinal cord associated with the central nervous system (CNS)
are seen in automotive accidents. CNS injuries are generally categorized into severe …

Objective: Active safety devices such as automatic emergency brake (AEB) and precrash seat
belt have the potential to accomplish further reduction in the number of the fatalities due to …

Several three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) models of the human body have been
developed to elucidate injury mechanisms due to automotive crashes. However, these models …

Napsin A is a reliable marker for pulmonary adenocarcinoma and is expressed in a subset
of ovarian clear cell carcinomas (O-CCCs), endometrial (EM) CCCs, and endometrioid …

Accurate prediction of occupant head kinematics is critical for better understanding of head/face
injury mechanisms in side impacts, especially far-side occupants. In light of the fact that …

A few reports suggest differences in injury outcomes between cadaver tests and real-world
accidents under almost similar conditions. This study hypothesized that muscle activity could …

It is expected that lighting employing white LED will become popular in the future. However,
the influence of the arrangement as well as the number of LED lights and luminance …

We developed a family of human‐body finite‐element models named THUMS Version 6 by
incorporating one‐dimensional multiple‐muscle models into a family of detailed models of …
