Development and Full Body Validation of a 5th Percentile Female Finite Element Model
… models are often developed to represent a 50th percentile male occupant (M50). However, in order to address the effects of size and sex-related geometrical changes, there is interest in developing models of other driving cohorts. As part of the Global Human Body Models Consortium (GHBMC) …

Development of a Full-Body CAD Dataset for a Computational Model of the 5th Percentile Female
… often developed to represent an average (50th percentile by height and weight) male occupant. However, a 2011 study from the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute marked the first year that there were more licensed female drivers than male drivers in the United States. In …

Occupant Responses of Relaxed and Braced 5th Percentile Female and 50th Percentile Male Volunteers during Low-Speed Frontal and Frontal-Oblique Sled Tests
… the occupant responses of relaxed and braced 5th percentile female and 50th percentile male volunteers during low-speed frontal and frontal-oblique sled tests designed to simulate pre-crash braking and low-severity crash events. A study comprised of 160 low-speed sled tests was performed with …

Sex-Based Differences in Calcaneal Injury Tolerances Under High-Rate Loading
… fracture force is measured across male and female groups. The purpose of this experiment is an analysis of alternatives exploring the importance of sex-based criteria in models representing injuries typical in underbody blast environments. Seventeen (17) right legs were harvested at the knee …

Biomechanical Responses of Small Female Human Surrogates during Frontal Sled Tests using a Realistic Vehicle Environment
There is evidence to suggest that males and females respond differently in motor vehicle collisions, making it important to study how both sexes respond to vehicle safety systems. The THOR 5th-percentile female (THOR-05F) anthropomorphic test device (ATD) was developed to represent a small female …

Lateral and Posterior Dynamic Bending of the Mid-Shaft Femur: Fracture Risk Curves for the Adult Population
… Nm for equivalent cross-sectional area of the 5th percentile female, 50th percentile male, and 95th percentile male respectively.

Upper Extremity Interaction with a Helicopter Side Airbag: Injury Criteria for Dynamic Hyperextension of the Female Elbow Joint
… to characterize the interaction between the female upper extremity and a helicopter cockpit side airbag system and to develop dynamic hyperextension injury criteria for the female elbow joint. Part I involved a series of 10 experiments with an original Army Black Hawk helicopter side airbag. …

Development and Validation of Human Body Finite Element Models for Pedestrian Protection
… mostly focus on the anthropometry of the 50th percentile male subject. This test procedure cannot be applied to real-world accidents nor the entire pedestrian population due to the incredibly specific nature of the testing. To better understand the injury mechanisms of pedestrians and improve …

Development and Validation of a Child Finite Element Model for Use in Pedestrian Accident Simulations
… scaling an existing adult model corresponding to 5th percentile female anthropometry to an average six-year-old child's overall anthropometry taken from literature, and then by morphing to the final target geometry. Initially, the material properties of an adult model were assigned to the child …
