Computational modelling and simulation of pedestrian subsystem impactor with Sedan vehicle and truck model
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021-02-16)The increase in public transportation in the last decade has resulted in a larger pedestrian population and hence a larger number of pedestrian collisions. In the past, car-pedestrian accident prevention had been a challenge ... -
Evaluation of automotive hood and bumper performance with composite material by pedestrian impactor systems
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021-02-16)The quality and reliability of vehicle safety in the automotive industry has greatly improved over the last years. Automotive manufacturers are constantly investigating the potential for enhancing rigidity for passenger ... -
Fundamentals of safety
(Elsevier, 2013)In this modern era, the science of safety mainly concerns all possible danger associated with the utilization of existing and/or developing technologies. Through development of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH ... -
A method to identify the difference in kinematic behavior of human model lower extremities with respect to muscle activation during crash impact
(Springer Netherlands, 2019-05-17)The main objective of this study is to develop a computational human musculoskeletal model, used to investigate the change in the kinematic behavior of the model’s lower extremities under the influence of activated (active) ... -
Pedestrian collision responses using legform impactor subsystem and full-sized pedestrian model on different workbenches
(ASME, 2018)Car-pedestrian collision fatalities have been reported for a significant number of roadside accidents around the world. In order to reduce the lower extremity injuries in car-pedestrian collisions, it is important to ...
