  • Injury Criteria

    Dear BIOMCH-L Community,

    I ask your help and advice because I am in a kind of hurry and not sure
    whether I can get all the necessary information by myself in time:

    We have to make specifications for impact experiments on specimens of
    FOAMED ALUMINIUM which is intended to be used as an energy absorbing
    material for passenger protection in automotive engineering.

    To achieve this I want to perform some computer simulations with an
    already available program which can simulate impacts on (mesoscopically
    inhomogeneous) metallic foams.

    Now I want to extend my program to calculate not only mechanical quantities
    like force on the impacting body, acceleration etc. but also physiological
    quantities given by INJURY CRITERIA I ask you to point out to me !
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    I am aware of the HIC (also from browsing the biomch-l archives I got the
    impression that it is kind of tricky to calculate) but I am sure that there
    are more criteria I kindly ask you to point out to me !

    Thanks very much in advance,
    Thomas Daxner
