Stapp Car Crash Journal Vol. 58, 2014 B-STAPP2014

This title carries the papers developed for the 2014 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 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:

• Head/brain biomechanics
• Thorax, spine, and pelvis biomechanics
• Overlap/angled frontal crash testing and real-world performance
• Pedestrian and cyclist injury factors and testing
• Rollover and side-impact crashes and computational modeling
