Biomechanical Research Support

This agreement has previously included research that involved rear impact sled testing and pediatric brain modeling. Current efforts involve the development of a human surrogate torso model that was first developed under a separate military-based funding and is currently per this agreement being updated for use in automotive crash evaluations.
