  1. 16. Evaluation of Head and Neck Injuries during Misuses of Child Restraint Systems : Simulations of Car Accidents Performed with the PIPER Child Model

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Steinunn Kristín Jóhannsdóttir; [2019]
    Keywords : CRS misuse; car accident; finite element analysis; PIPER model; head and neck injuries;

    Abstract : Car collisions are, unfortunately, not uncommon and cause 1.35 million deaths each year worldwide. Children are often occupants in cars and to ensure their safety, child restraint systems (CRSs) have been developed. However, CRSs need to be used correctly to be efficient. READ MORE

  3. 17. The role of predation in mass mortality of wood Lemmings (Myopus schisticolor)

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Björn Wallgren; [2019]
    Keywords : wood lemming; Myopus schisticolor; outbreak; predation; predator; mass mortality;

    Abstract : The wood lemming (Myopus schisticolor) is known for its skewed sex-ratio and unpredictable population outbreaks followed by mass mortality. Both mammalian and avian predators include the wood lemming in their diet, but the role of predation in the population dynamics and mass mortality of wood lemmings is unclear. READ MORE

  4. 18. Evaluation of Test Methods for Football Helmets Using Finite Element Simulations

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Aðalheiður Gunnarsdóttir; [2019]
    Keywords : Concussion; Football Helmets; Test methods; FE simulations;

    Abstract : Introduction: Concussions in American Football are of a major concern due to highly reported injury rates. The importance of properly designed helmets have shown effect in reducing the risk of injuries, such as skull fractures. However, they are not as effective in reducing the risk of concussion.

  5. 19. Using inertial sensors for assessing movement symmetries in trotting dogs : a feasibility study

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Anders Stenman; [2019]
    Keywords : lameness; assessment; inertial sensors; dogs; trot;

    Abstract : Lameness or other disturbances in the musculoskeletal system are common reasons why dog owners seek veterinary care. The lameness is most often associated with pain, degenerative changes in joints or muscles, or injury. Evaluation of lameness have traditionally been performed subjectively by means of visual assessment and scoring. READ MORE

  6. 20. Simulations of Safety Aspects for Occpuants in Mine Blast Events

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Pontus Nordström; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Underbody mine blasts are events during which massive amounts of energy is transferred to a vehicle and its occupants during a very short time. The occupants are usually protected by both external (armor) and internal (seat suspension/belts etc.) features. READ MORE
