Résumé / Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine thoracic injury mechanism and to determine the tolerance in lateral impact. The response of the thorax of the human cadaver for a total 21 sled impact tests were analyzed by using University of Heidelberg test data. This report provides a simple mathematical description of the process of thoracic deformation in lateral impact into a rigid wall or into a wall with padding.
