Résumé / Abstract
This study introduces a method to provide the geometry of a seated child trunk. It is performed by combining medical imaging data and anthropometric measurements. The seated three-dimensional geometry is obtained after a spatial interpolation and includes bones and soft organs. Resulting geometry is consistent with existing average anthropometric data and was used to create a finite element model of a child in order to simulate the mechanisms of injury during a car crash.
