Shoulder resposnse to impact (Compigne et al. 2004)

These are simulation setups designed to replicate the hub impacts on the shoulder carried out by Compigne et al. (2004). The full reference is provided at the end of this document.

PMHS reference data overview

There are variants of the hub setups, which are documented by Compigne et al. 2004. The setups differ in terms of impact speed and angle. The table below provides an overview of the test.

Impact direction No.of right impacts (1.5 m/s) No.of left impacts (3-6 m/s) Total
0 deg 7 7 14
+15 deg 7 0 7
-15 deg 8 0 8
0 deg 5 0 5
Total 27 7 34

The characteristics of all PMHS used in these tests are provided in the table below.

Subject Age Sex Weight (kg) Height (cm) Shoulder width (mm) Shoulder flesh thick. L/R (mm)
#01 77 F 67 161 335 20/24
#02 88 M 33 163 355 10/12
#03 79 F 52 159 355 10/12
#04 82 F 50 155 345 15/15
#05 91 M 50 165 370 13/12
#06 94 F 50 148 355 11/13
#07 93 F 66.5 152 400 20/30
Average 86 -- 53 158 360 14/17

Instructions

Follow the General Instructions for setting up your simulations. Make sure that all required outputs are available in the simulation output files (e.g. binout when using LS-Dyna) in an appropriate time frequency!

A detailed guide with illustrations is provided in the Documentation_Hub.pdf.

Please report all new issues you encounter.
