The purpose of this report is to present background information and techniques for developing protection reference values (PRV) to use with child dummies in out-of-position (OOP) child/air bag interaction testing. Biomechanics experts agree that OOP PRV in the literature should not apply to frontal belt-restrained child ...

The FMVSS 208 standard specifies the injury metric in terms of. HIC for different dummies for head impact protection. The frontal impact standard calls for full- scale vehicle-to-barrier tests at a velocity of 48 km/h and 40 km/h with outboard belted and unbelted dummies in the front seat for the 50th percentile male dummy.

The biomechanics of the equine hoof are not well understood. There- fore biomechanical models of the hoof were developed, using finite element analysis and finite deformation elasticity, to provide a means of analysing the mechanisms underlying hoof function and dysfunction. One goal of the research was to investigate ...

The Biomechanics of the Foot by André Bähler. "The human foot is one of nature's works of art and as such, it has not yet been fully recognized and explained. It will require a deal of scientific investigation before this structure is fully understood." These words of the old master of ortho paedics, Georg Hohmann, from his ...

If cartilage were a stiff material like bone, the contact stresses at a joint would be much higher, since the area of contact would be much smaller. These mechanical functions alone would probably not be sufficient to justify an in-depth study of cartilage biomechanics. However, the apparent link between osteoarthrosis and. 5.
