Simulated Astronaut Kinematics and Injury Risk for Piloted Lunar Landings and Launches While Standing

Mitesh Lalwala et al.

Summary: This study used human body modeling to predict the kinematics and injury risk of astronauts piloting lunar vehicles in a standing posture. The results suggest that the displacement of the head and arms is within acceptable limits, but there is a potential risk of tibia injury that exceeds NASA's tolerance.

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

Karan Devane et al.

Summary: The objective of this study was to develop a computationally efficient small female finite element model to predict occupant response in precrash braking and low-speed frontal sled tests. By adding active skeletal muscle elements, the model was calibrated and compared against an average male model. The results indicate that the model is capable of accurately predicting occupant forward excursion and reaction forces.

Vestibulocollic and Cervicocollic Muscle Reflexes in a Finite Element Neck Model During Multidirectional Impacts

Matheus A. Correia et al.

Summary: In this study, a single closed-loop controller for neck muscle activation in a contemporary male Human Body Model (HBM) was developed based on known reflex mechanisms. The study assessed how this approach compared to current open-loop controllers across a range of impact directions and severities. The incorporation of reflex mechanisms using a closed-loop controller showed robust performance for a range of impact directions and severities, which is critical for improving HBM response in automotive impact simulations.

A Human Active Lower Limb Model for Chinese Pedestrian Safety Evaluation

Fuhao Mo et al.

Summary: A finite element lower limb model representing 50(th) Chinese male size was established and validated for pedestrian safety research, showing both consistency and significant differences in biomechanical responses compared to general models. The injury measurements of the thigh region of the present model showed extremely large differences with the other two models, indicating that directly using the aPLI or THUMS models for Chinese pedestrian safety evaluation may not be robust.

Human Response to Longitudinal Perturbations of Standing Passengers on Public Transport During Regular Operation

Simon Krasna et al.

Summary: This study investigates the responses of standing passengers on public transport during non-collision incidents, analyzing the effects of perturbation characteristics on initial responses and balance maintenance. The results show that pulses with higher jerk values lead to shorter response and recovery times for passengers, while pulses with longer duration and higher acceleration magnitude induce more recovery steps and safety-harness deployment. Female volunteers tend to have shorter response times.
