Ballistic impact response of a fluid/structure coupling-based modification of human thorax modelling

Review of non-penetrating ballistic testing techniques for protection assessment: From biological data to numerical and physical surrogates

“…Nsiampa 146 conducted research on an ideal lung substitute and found no significant change in global chest wall displacement. Recently, Gilson et al 147 filled the void space between organs in SHTIM and tested it with Bir et al impact cases. 33 They concluded that SHTIM behaviour was validated.…”

“…Researchers sometimes used PMHS testing to validate their models. Bir et al PMHS experiments were used by the designers of MTHOTA, 29 TSM, [131][132][133] SHTIM, 109,146,147 and HUByx. 154 The MTHOTA model has an original design that focuses on mimicking global chest wall motion, which reduces computation time and allows for the replication of sternal impacts.…”

Thoughts and perspectives on biomechanical numerical models under impacts: Are women forgotten from research?

“…-The head, with the SIMon model (Takhounts et al 22 ) and the model of Mao et al 23 -The thorax, with Gilson's model (Gilson et al 24 ) or the HUByx model (Bodo et al 25 ) -The whole body with the model of Huang et al 26 and Ruan et al 27 However, this statement should not be considered as a criticism of earlier FE models or of simplified geometries: while they may be considered as geometrically unrealistic, they represented a significant breakthrough in the understanding of injury biomechanics. Thus, while simplifications appear relevant to obtain an efficient model which can be launched on a computer, they can potentially annihilate the specificity of a geometry, and perhaps the sex specificity.…”
