3. 2. Age–Related Perspectives on the Biomechanics of Traumatic Injury

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

   Author : Silvia Pezzutti; [2017]
   Keywords : FE Model; Pediatric; Age; Injuries;

   Abstract : Finite element models have the potential to accurately represent the pediatric body, both from the anatomical and topological point of view. They can describe changes in size and shape as well as changes in the biomechanical properties. READ MORE

4. 3. Finite Element Modeling of Chest Compressions in CPR

   University essay from KTH/Medicinsk teknik

   Author : Hildigunnur Katrínardóttir; [2017]
   Keywords : Finite element modeling; Cardiopulmonary resuscitation; Chest compressions; Rib and sternal injury;

   Abstract : Factors affecting the risk of ribcage injury in adult subjects during CPR were investigated using the torso region of the THUMS model, a full human body FE-model, representing an average adult male. The thoracic dynamic response of the model was compared to experimental PMHS hub loading impact data and live-subject CPR data found in the literature. READ MORE
