Finite element investigation of the loading rate effect on the spinal load-sh...
Sudden deceleration and frontal/rear impact configurations involve rapid movements that can cause spinal injuries. This study aimed to investigate the rotation rate... -
Does placenta position modify the risk of placental abruption in car crashes?
The goal of this paper is to study the influence of placenta position on the risk of placenta abruption following a car crash involving a full term pregnant woman in... -
Spine virtual traumas under multiple impact situations
International audience -
On liver modelling under trauma situations
Thoracic and abdominal organs are typically severely injured during crash situations leading to severe traumas with high morbidity. To prevent this, the definition of... -
Does a neck segment exhibit the same vulnerability under various impact condi...
In pedestrian, cyclist and motorcyclist accidents, cervical spine injuries are often observed, with complex mechanisms occurring for multidirectional loadings. In this... -
Estimation of bone material properties using an inverse finite element method
The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanical properties of bone components of the vertebral body. An inverse finite element strategy was used to estimate the... -
Determination of the hyperelastic material properties of the intervertebral d...
In the last decade, many finite element (FE) models of the spine were used as surrogate experiments to provide relevant knowledge on the biomechanics of spinal trauma... -
Calibration of the mechanical properties in a finite element model of a lumba...
Finite element models (FEM) dedicated to vertebral fracture simulations rarely take into account the rate dependency of the bone material properties due to limited... -
Calibration of Hyperelastic Material Properties of the Human Lumbar Intervert...
Under fast dynamic loading conditions (e.g. high-energy impact), the load rate dependency of the intervertebral disc (IVD) material properties may play a crucial role... -
Effect of fall conditions and biological variability on the mechanism of skul...
In a forensic investigation, there is considerable difficulty in distinguishing between different mechanisms that could explain the head injury sustained. The key... -
Injury tolerance of tibia for the vehicle-pedestrian impact
Lower limbs are normally the first contacted body region during car-pedestrian accidents, and easily suffer serious injuries. The previous tibia bending tolerances for... -
Finite element analysis of the influence of loading rate on a model of the fu...
Despite an increase in the number of experimental and numerical studies dedicated to spinal trauma, the influence of the rate of loading or displacement on lumbar... -
Coupling Lateral Bending and Shearing Mechanisms to Define Knee Injury Criter...
In car–pedestrian accidents, lateral bending and shearing kinematics have been identified as principal injury mechanisms causing permanent disabilities and impairments... -
The PROMIS model to highlight the importance of the foetus to the validation ...
The percentage of trauma during pregnancy related to road accident is between 50% and 75%. This type of trauma can result in premature birth or even foetal loss. To... -
Wood-steel structure for roadside safety barriers
Some roadside safety barriers are made of a mixed structure of steel and wood. This kind of structure is currently in fashion in rural locations where safety equipment...
