2012 IBS PAPERS & POSTERS

8^th Annual Injury Biomechanics Symposium

The Injury Biomechanics Research Laboratory presents the 8th Injury Biomechanics Symposium to be held May 13th – 15th, 2012, on the campus of the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. The 8th annual event promises to be a unique atmosphere for professional communication between developing and established researchers. Attendees can expect original biomechanics research in a forum intended to foster communication between developing and established researchers.

The keynote address will be by Dr. Dinesh Mohan, Volvo Chair Professor Emeritus at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. Guest speakers include:

Dr. Richard Kent, Automobile Safety Research Group of the Center for Applied Biomechanics, University of Virginia
Dr. Joel Stitzel, Virginia Tech-Wake Forest University Center for Injury Biomechanics
Mark Scarboro, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

This year’s event will showcase 13 universities from around the world, featuring 11 oral presentations and 12 poster presentations. A small sample of the experimental and theoretical topics to be discussed include:

High rate behavior of the cervical spine elements
Finite element analysis of the injury potential of shock-induced compressive waves on human bone
Validation of full body finite element model in lateral sled and drop impacts
Biomechanical response of the pediatric ankle
Improving spine biofidelity of the HYBRID-III 6-year-old ATD
Modeling trajectories of human volunteers in low-speed frontal impacts using Bezier curves
Chest injuries of vulnerable road users – application of the THOMO model to a frontal crash setup
Design and development of a surrogate bruising detection system to describe bruising patterns in children
