Abstract:

A review of mathematical models simulating biodynamic response to impact acceleration is given along with the associated experimental validation studies that have been performed. The types of models surveyed include gross motion simulators, head injury models, and spinal and thoracic models. Sufficient details are provided to indicate to potential users their applicability and relative cost.
