Implementation and calibration of active small female and average male human body models using low-speed frontal sled tests

CONCLUSIONS: To the authors' knowledge, this study is the first to concurrently calibrate and compare equivalently developed computational models of females and males in precrash and low-speed impacts. The modeling approach is capable of capturing the varied kinematics observed in the relaxed condition, which may be an important factor in studies focused on the effects of low-g vehicle dynamics on the occupant position. Finally, the computationally efficient modeling approach is imperative given the long duration (>500 ms) of the events simulated.PMID:36107808 | DOI:10.1080/15389588.2022.2114078
