Numerical simulation is increasingly being used in the field of biomechanics to predict the response of the human body to traumatic loading. Techniques such as finite element analysis and multi-body modelling are being widely applied to analyse and predict the occurrence of injury to various body parts and the results are now being used in the design of new dummies and the derivation of injury ...
