The requirement may be to model such contacts to return a reasonable estimate of impact parameters over a range of conditions that might include a finite impact velocity range. This is the case when estimating head impact severity in simulations of pedestrian crashes for which impact speeds are uncertain. Any rate effects on the loading characteristic of the contact must therefore be estimated. | Journal Title | Journal of Biomechanics | Conference Name | XXI Congress of International Society of Biomechanics | Conference Location | Tapei, Taiwan | Conference Date | 1-5 July, 2007 | Journal Volume (Issue) | 40(S2) | Page Range | S91 | Page Count | 1 | Notes | available from CASR library on request |
