Human Body Models: Scientific Literature Collection¶
A curated list of recent literature on injury biomechanics, mostly focused on vehicle/mobility-related safety
Ever read a new article, but spent hours to find it later when you wanted to use it? This started as a notebook to document interesting literature in Injury Biomechanics.

- Forman, 20191: Automobile injury trends in the contemporary fleet: Belted occupants in frontal collisions
The largest reductions in risk between newer model year vehicles and older model year vehicles occur in the lower extremities and in the risk of skull fracture. There is no statistically significant change in risk of AIS 3+ rib fracture or sternum injury between model year categories. Females are at greater risk of AIS 2+ and AIS 3+ injury compared to males, with increased risk across most injury types.

- Connor, 20202: Inertial properties of a living population for the development of biofidelic headforms
The linear equations associated with this new primary data set relate head circumference to head mass and moments of inertia: Head Mass = 0.18 × Head Circumference – 6.08, where mass is in kg and circumference is in cm, while Ixx = 79.88 × Head Mass – 132.88, Iyy = 81.70 × Head Mass – 128.38 and Izz = 53.88 × Head Mass – 86.66, where I is the moment of inertia in kg/cm2 and mass is in kg.
