Abstract:

The Articulated Total Body (ATB) model has been developed to predictively simulate the head and neck response by specifying a 2-segment/2-joint system driven at the anatomical thoracic spine T1 position. The objective of this research was to validate the ATB modeling methodology for the -Gx impact response of the head/neck system. The simulation responses when compared with corresponding NBDL human test data indicate remarkable correlation with human tests.
