21.2 MB Download
This text acquaints the reader on the biomechanics of injury to the
human body caused by impact and the use of computer models to
simulate impact events. It provides a basic understanding of the
biomechanics of the injuries resulting from the impact to the head,
neck, chest, abdomen, spine, pelvis and the lower extremities,
including the foot and ankle. Other topics include side impact,
car-pedestrian impact, effectiveness of automotive restraint
systems and sports-related injuries. Featuring problems and
PowerPoint slides for lectures, the volume is ideal for students in
graduate programs in biomechanics, as well as practicing engineers,
and researchers in the life sciences concerned with
orthopedics.
