Human Body Modeling
Over the last few years, at the Transportation Research and
Injury Prevention Program (TRIPP), at IIT Delhi, we have been doing
extensive work in the area of safety analysis with emphasis on doing
computer simulations of vehicle crashes. This work is highly
interdisciplinary and needs an input from various disciplines like
Mechanical Engineering, Biomechanics, Computer Science etc. At the TRIPP
expertise in all these areas is available enabling us to carry out this
inter-disciplinary research. Development of human dummy as well as human
body FE models is closely related to this activity. We have been using
available human body / dummy models and have also worked on extending the
available models. The need of more data on the behavior of the human body
under impact conditions is known, and it is this need that forms the
basis of the origin of this work.
The main objective of the current work is to generate data about the
dynamic properties of the human body tissues. This data would include
mechanical properties under impact conditions and their variations with
strain rate and the energy of the impact. The specific tissues that will
be targeted in this study are the tissues of the limbs.
