Development and validation of an elderly human body model for frontal impacts.

CONCLUSIONS: The developed model with the morphological and material changes representing an elderly occupant is considered to be validated under three experimental scenarios, and it can be used for crashworthiness applications (develop countermeasures) with a focus on elderly occupants. The process used in the development of the elderly model can also be used to understand the responses of elderly occupants with different postures. PMID: 33174790 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
