Abstract:Thorax injuries are common in vehicular accidents, second only to head injuries. Unbelted drivers of vehicles are more likely to suffer thorax injuries from steering wheel contact in frontal impacts. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects the steering wheel tilt angle (0, 20, 40, and 60) impact to the thorax of human body model with respect to thorax deflection and steering wheel rim contact interaction. To understanding of the human thorax sensitivity to steering wheel tilt angle on the for… Show more
