Contributions of Muscle, Skin, and Adipose Tissue to Indentation Response, Assessed with Computational Arm Model Under Quasi Static Conditions
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-20)Computational Human Body Models (HBMs) enable the assessment of human response in potentially injurious impact scenarios; however, to do so HBMs require biofidelic material representations to predict the potential for ... -
Optimization of Neck Musculature Activation for Head Kinematics in Frontal, Lateral and Rear Impact Simulations
(University of Waterloo, 2020-07-21)The activation of the neck musculature plays an important role in the response of the head and neck and can affect the risk of injury under impact conditions. Yet, the role of the level (i.e., magnitude) and timing of the ...
