SAE International Journal of Transportation Safety
2023 Student Special Issue: Collection of Papers Presented at the 18th Annual Injury Biomechanics Symposium JRN-TS-SI-02
Volume 11, Issue 2, 2023
SAE International is pleased to provide this special issue that is not peer reviewed as a supplemental addition to the regular volume year, supporting these student authors. Please note that this supplemental issue may not appear annually. The journal currently publishes only two regular issues per year.
The goal of this special issue is to bring together student research focused on advancing knowledge in injury biomechanics from a wide range of topics in the areas of sports, military, car crashes, and diverse populations. The twelve manuscripts in this special issue were previously presented at the 18th Annual Injury Biomechanics Symposium hosted by the Ohio State University.
Special Issue Co-Editors:
Becky Miller, Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, Virginia
Brian Bautsch, Honda Development & Manufacturing of America, Ohio
Julie Mansfield, Injury Biomechanics Research Center, Ohio State University, Ohio
The SAE International Journal of Transportation Safety publishes research concerning all aspects of injury causation and mitigation associated with any transportation system. This includes safety mechanisms, impact and injury response, and tolerance on multiple scales, with the objective of developing restraint, vehicle, and infrastructure environments.
The Injury Biomechanics Symposium provides a welcoming atmosphere where novice researchers receive feedback and support for their original work. The Symposium is a unique event where research trainees can develop their presentation skills in a non-threatening environment. It brings together students and industry members, providing opportunities for networking and allows young researchers to form connections that have both immediate and long-term impacts on their academic and professional careers. These opportunities also provide industry members with a first look at up-and-coming researchers in the injury biomechanics field.
Sincere appreciation is given to all the authors and co-authors for their input on this special issue. A special thank you to the Injury Biomechanics Symposium technical committee for the support and dedication to reviewing student submissions. This special edition would not be possible without Dr. John Bolte and the staff at the Injury Biomechanics Research Center for their vision, planning, and execution of the Injury Biomechanics Symposium.
