Advancements in computational techniques used to simulate human impact injury response, coupled with those in computer hardware, bring the idea of detailed injury assessment closer to reality. Consequently, nextgeneration (G2) injury assessment processes are being explored to potentially augment or replace methods using dummy -based, empirically-derived, gross injury risk relationships. These processes use computational models that give more detailed injury response resulting from dummy -measured loading. This paper discusses the development of an initial version of such a nextgeneration injury assessment tool called SIMon: A Simulated Injury Monitor, as it is applied to the assessment of brain injury.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
