This paper describes a new solution for an articulated low-cost artificial neck with sensors to
assess the effects of head impacts. This prototype is designed as a new solution to evaluate …

This paper presents the experimental tests that have been carried out using a new implant
design for osteosynthesis as a solution for the treatment of human rib fractures. First, it is …

This paper describes experimental tests in LARM2 in Rome to analyze impacts on a human
head. The tests consist of performing three different types of impact by hitting a commercial …

The aim of the research campaign was to simulate in vitro the typical conditions for the
corrosion in biofluid of a femoral bone implant manufactured with AZ31 alloy. The samples …

The problems for fixing rib fractures are usually challenged with different rib fixators whose
design strongly depends of the material selected for construction. Main issues refer to rib …

The aorta is the largest artery of the human body, and it is considered in the continuous
medium mechanics as a hyperelastic material for its biological properties. The thoracic aorta …

El presente trabajo muestra los índices de lesión en el tórax (CSI) al que podría estar
sometido un pasajero sentado en las butacas de un autobús urbano durante un impacto …

Alternatives to the current invasive rib implants are discussed as from the current solutions
with their constraints and disadvantages mainly in surgery application and clinical …

This paper presents a numerical and experimental evaluation of a new osteosynthesis rib
implant. The reported cases are studied using the Finite Element Method (FEM) to compute …

Background. The World Health Organization has reported that 1.35 million people die on the
roads every year due to road traffic accidents. This paper focuses on exploring a passive …
