Stapp Car Crash Journal Vol. 62, 2018 B-STAPP2018

This title includes the technical papers developed for the 2018 Stapp Car Crash Conference, the premier forum for the presentation of research in impact biomechanics, human injury tolerance, and related fields, advancing the knowledge of land-vehicle crash injury protection.

The conference provides an opportunity to participate in open discussion about the causes and mechanisms of injury, experimental methods and tools for use in impact biomechanics research, and the development of new concepts for reducing injuries and fatalities in automobile crashes.

The topics covered this year include:
• Effect of restraints on chest deflection
• Thoracic response in dynamic front loading
• Side impact assessments and comparisons <
• Front airbag deployment rates and implications
• Reanalysis of experimental brain strain data
• Modeling pedestrian impacts
• Short communications
• New data on the biomechanics of injury and human tolerance, new methods and tools to study the biomechanics of injury, new developments in occupant protection systems, and new concepts on the biomechanics of injury based on experimental and analytical studies.
