Stapp Papers 2022 , Electronic B-STAPP2022

This title includes the technical papers developed for the 2022 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:

• Investigation of Potential Injury Patterns and Occupant Kinematics in Frontal Impact with PMHS in Reclined Postures
• Obese Occupant Response in Reclined and Upright Seated Postures in Frontal Impacts
• Ligaments Laxity and Elongation at Injury in Flexed knees during Lateral Impact Conditions
• Lower Extremity Validation of a Human Body Model for High Rate Axial Loading in the Underbody Blast Environment
• A Comparison of the Mid-Size Male THOR and Hybrid III ATDs in Vehicle Frontal Crash Tests
• Understanding Head Injury Risks during Car-to-Pedestrian Collisions Using Realistic Vehicle and Detailed Human Body Models
• Effect of Tissue Erosion Modeling Techniques on Pedestrian Impact Kinematics
• Driving Behavior during Right-Turn Maneuvers at Intersections on Left-Hand Traffic Roads
