1. 1. Rear end crash simulation using Human Body Models : An investigation of the design of seat structure using a 50th percentile female Human Body Model

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

   Author : Jacob Fagerström; [2020]
   Keywords : Human body model; Car crash; Finite element method;

   Abstract : In this master thesis it have been investigated how the stiffness of a seat affect the risk of neck injuries, e.g whiplash associated disorders, in a rear end low velocity car collision using a female human body model, HBM, and if dividing the seat into several sections with different stiffnesses.

3. 2. Injury prevention in vehicle side collisions

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

   Author : Olof Lidström; Oscar Edling; [2020]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : In America around 30% of all fatal car collisions are a result of side collisions. Furthermore, in Europe between 28% to 38% of all side collisions results in serious injury or death. There are existing protection systems to minimize the risk of injury. READ MORE

4. 3. Modelling of Whiplash Trauma Parametric study of rear-end impacts using FEM and CFD

   University essay from

   Author : Andreu Oliver González; Mourya Vanama; [2019-07-03T12:20:01Z 2019-07-03T12:20:01Z 2010]
   Keywords : Farkostteknik; Strömningsmekanik; Vehicle Engineering; Fluid mechanics;

   Abstract : This work is a combination of Finite Element (FE) modelling and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to investigate the effect of acceleration pulses, head restraint and seating posture on facet joint loads and pressure transient magnitudes on the neck injury outcome during whiplash motion. A parametric study is carried out with the FE human body model THUMS (Total HUman Model for Safety) for a variety of crash pulses and crash conditions that have a known relative risk of long term neck injuries in rear-end impacts.

5. 4. Analysis of Drop-outs in a 2-year Follow-up of individuals exposed to Whiplash Trauma

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för odontologi

   Author : Elin Berglund; Laura Holopainen; [2018]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Most studies that investigate the relationship between temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and whiplash are cross-sectional, but in order to identify risk factors prospective studies are needed. The reliability of prospective studies is dependent on representative follow-up groups. READ MORE

6. 5. Wear mark evolution and numerical study of impact stresses in stainless steel flapper valves

   University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

   Author : Jesper Larsson; [2016]
   Keywords : Flapper valve; FEM; Impact fatigue; Wear mark;

   Abstract : Compressors that are used in refrigerators and air conditioners usually have flapper vales made of martensitic stainless steel to control the flow of the refrigerant in the system. During service the flapper valves are affected by both bending and impact fatigue in the very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) range with billions of cycles until failure. READ MORE
