It is with great enthusiasm we invite you to the International Research Council on Biomechanics of Injury (IRCOBI) conference to be held at Chalmers University of Technology in the city of Gothenburg on the west coast of Sweden 11-13 September 2013, see http://ircobi.org/conference.php. The IRCOBI conference has been taking place annually since 1973, and is the premier forum for researchers in the field of injury biomechanics.
Scope: The focus of IRCOBI is on the biomechanics of injury at multiple length scales with a diverse range of applications including traffic safety (passive safety and integrated active/passive safety), sports and aviation injury biomechanics and blast related injuries. Accordingly, we are particularly interested in submissions in the following areas:
- tissue mechanics and injury mechanisms across length scales (cellular to organ to whole body)
- integrated active/passive safety systems related to injury biomechanics
- vulnerable road user protection
- active and passive human body modelling (physical and computational) in response to impact
- crash test dummy development and validation
- influence of vehicle and equipment design on injury outcome
- accident and injury database analysis
- crash reconstruction
- sports injury biomechanics
- blast and blunt injury biomechanics
- aviation injury biomechanics.
Next deadline to be observed is 17 December 2012 - submisson of abstracts for full conference papers, see http://ircobi.org/abstract_submission.php.
