The
paper was published in an SAE Special Publication (SP), Side Impact, Rear Impact, and Rollover (SP-1616), which is a
collection of papers from the session of the same name held at
the SAE 2001 World Congress.
The papers included in SP-1616 cover vehicle impact
conditions from the side, rear and during rollovers.
The subjects include design studies using finite element
cadaver modeling, side impact thoracic injury criteria, and head
interfacial pressures during pillar contact.
The papers also cover injury patterns and kinematics of
occupants during side impact, rear impact, and rollover. The
principal author, Thomas A. Braun, presented the paper at the
World Congress held in
