A study of whiplash injury occurrence mechanisms using human head-neck finite element model (Analysis of factors for reproducing the early head-neck behaviors in rear impact)

The number of whiplash injuries worldwide is at a high level. From the mid-1990s, many researchers have focused into the head-neck S-shaped mode deformation behavior in early rear impacts. Firstly we developed a Japanese male 50th%ile size head-neck FE model, so we attempt to reproduce the same mode...
