1. 11. Studying American Football with Finite Element Analysis and Video Analysis

   University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

   Author : Daniel Sliwinski; [2021]
   Keywords : Medical Engineering; Helmet to Helmet impacts; Helmet to Ground impacts; Finite Element Analysis; Video Analysis; GHBMC; Maximum Principal Strain; American Football; Medicinsk teknik; Hjälm mot hjälm tackling; Hjälm mot mark tackling; Videoanalys; Finite Element analys; GHBMC; Maximum Principal Strain; Amerikansk fotboll;

   Abstract : Head injuries in American football is a serious issue regarding player health which is highly affected by velocity and its direction. Impact location can affect the severity of the head injury in both helmet-to-helmet impacts and helmet-to-ground impacts hence the understanding of concussive outcome from velocities and impact locations must be improved.

3. 12. Finite Element Head ModelPersonalization by Mesh Morphing

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

   Author : Yann Levin; [2021]
   Keywords : Biomechanics; Finite element; Head models; Image Registration; Mesh morphing; Personalization.;

   Abstract : Finite Element (FE) head models are very convenient tools forthe study of Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) but lack significantanatomical details for the investigation of morphology or age-dependantinjury mechanisms. In this context, the use of deformable registrationalgorithms for the generation of personalized head models is veryconsistent for the development of improved protection systems likehelmets.

4. 13. Pilotstudie: Duration av belastningsoch svävningsfas i trav på volt jämfört med rakt spår med respektive utan ryttare samt med hästen i olika huvudpositioner

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry

   Author : Tove Månsson; [2020]
   Keywords : trav; hälta; hovförflyttning; ridning;

   Abstract : Lameness is a common health issue for sports horses. The horse is an athlete that often suffers from injuries in the locomotor apparatus. Such injuries are not only expensive but also have a negative effect on the welfare of the horses. The trot is a two-beat gait where the diagonal limbs move in unison. READ MORE

5. 14. With sword and mace? : Searching for blunt force trauma from the cranial material of the Battle of Good Friday

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Osteoarkeologiska forskningslaboratoriet

   Author : Anniina Laine; [2020]
   Keywords : trauma; trauma analysis; Middle Ages; Uppsala;

   Abstract : The crania from a mass grave associated to the Battle of Good Friday (1520) in Uppsala were re-examined in this study. The total skeletal material has been analysed before, but blunt force trauma was excluded and therefore a comprehensive trauma pattern could not be presented. READ MORE

6. 15. 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.
