Female-specific Response & Injury Risk (Thorax/Ribs & Abdomen)

This project involves testing small female post-mortem human subjects (PMHS) to evaluate thorax response prediction using new rib-based scaling method; assessing existing abdomen data/collecting more PMHS data to statistically compare female vs male pressure-based injury risk functions; and data analysis/development of rib fracture vulnerability metric using age and sex
