The protection of children in motor vehicle crashes has improved since the introduction of
child restraint systems. However, motor vehicle crashes remain one of the top leading …

Finite element (FE) modeling of the spine has increasingly been applied in orthopedic
precision-medicine approaches. Previously published FE models of the pediatric spine …

Background and objective Studies on traumatic injuries of children indicate that impact to the
head is a major cause of severe injury and high mortality. However, regulatory and ethical …

Abstract Personalized Finite Element (FE) models and hexahedral elements are preferred
for biomechanical investigations. Feature-based multi-block methods are used to develop …

Traffic injuries have become a major health-related issue to school-aged children. To study
this type of injury with numerical simulations, a finite element model was developed to …

Due to the significant effects of the human anatomical characteristics on the injury
mechanism of passenger in traffic accidents, it is necessary to develop human body FEM …

Currently, landmark-based mesh morphing technology is widely used to rapidly obtain
meshes with specific geometry, which is suitable to develop parametric human finite element …

To help predict the injury responses of child pedestrians and occupants in traffic incidents,
finite element (FE) modeling has become a common research tool. Until now, there was no …

For improved protection for pedestrians in the 10 years (YO) old age group, it is imperative to
investigate the injury mechanisms using paediatric finite element (FE) model. A 10 YO child …

A detailed anatomy structure finite element (FE) model of the paediatric thorax and abdomen
of a 6-year-old was constructed and validated. The thoracoabdominal geometrical model …
