Assessment of the dynamic response of a lumbar spine functional unit under axial compressive high loading rate: outcome on the axial disc bulge and its relation to the load magnitude
Thorbole, Chandrashekhar K.; Jorgensen, Michael J.; Lankarani, Hamid M. (American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2014)Human lumbar spine tolerance to the compressive impact loading is less when compared to its tolerance to the perpendicular dynamic load. The dynamic response of the functional spinal unit in compressive loading is governed ... -
Biodynamic modeling of a pedestrian impact with a rigid frontal guard of a utility vehicle
Moradi, Rasoul; Thorbole, Chandrashekhar K.; McCoy, Michael; Lankarani, Hamid M. (AMER SOC MECHANICAL ENGINEERS, 2012)Accident data reveals that in most pedestrian accidents, the pedestrian head and lower extremity are vulnerable to serious injuries. The vehicle front geometry profile as well as the impact speed are important factors ... -
Birdstrike analysis on leading edge of an aircraft wing using a smooth particle hydrodynamics bird model
Walvekar, Vinayak; Thorbole, Chandrashekhar K.; Bhonge, Prasannakumar S.; Lankarani, Hamid M. (American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2012)With the increase in air travel, the recent occurrences of birdstrikes on aircraft pose a major threat to human life; hence, there is a need to develop aircraft structures with a high resistance to such occurrences. According ... -
Computational modeling and performance evaluation of a DAX-foam aircraft seat cushion utilizing high loading rate dynamic characteristics
Bhonge, Prasannakumar S.; Thorbole, Chandrashekhar K.; Lankarani, Hamid M. (AMER SOC MECHANICAL ENGINEERS, 2012)The aircraft seat dynamic performance standards as per CFR 14 FAR Part 23, and 25 requires the seat to demonstrate crashworthy performance as evaluated using two tests namely Test-I and Test-II conditions. Test-I dynamic ... -
Kinematic analysis of a motorcyclist impact on concrete barriers under different road conditions
Moradi, Rasoul; Ramamurthy, Shashikumar; Thorbole, Chandrashekhar K.; Bhonge, Prasannakumar S.; Lankarani, Hamid M. (AMER SOC MECHANICAL ENGINEERS, 2012)In many countries, motorcycle crashes constitutes a significant proportion of road crash injuries. Several roadside guard systems such as concrete barriers, wire road barriers and steel guard rails are used to protect cars ... -
Pelvis kinematics assessment for improving far-side child protection positioned in a booster seat
Thorbole, Chandrashekhar K.; Thokade, Sujeet; Lankarani, Hamid M. (Taylor & Francis, 2019-05-24)The objective of this study is to demonstrate the modulation of pelvis kinematics on the improvement of child protection in a far-side impact scenario. Sled tests have been carried out employing Hybrid-III 6-year-old ... -
Use of a head component tester to evaluate the injury potential of an aircraft head-up display
DeWeese, Richard; Moorcroft, David; Thorbole, Chandrashekhar K.; Lankarani, Hamid M. (Taylor & Francis, 2011-08)Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 25, 25.785 requires that seats and adjacent parts of the airplane be designed so that occupants will not suffer serious injury during an emergency landing as a result of ...
