  1. 1. Modeling and Evaluation of a Finite Element Cervical Spinal Cord for Injury Assessment

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Författare :Nicole Valle Olivera; [2020]
    Nyckelord :Biomechanics; Neuronics; Spinal Cord; LS-Dyna;

    Sammanfattning : Motor vehicles collisions and falls have gradually increase the risk for spinal cord injuries. An increased knowledge of the spinal behavior and its injury mechanisms can be used as preventive strategies. LÄS MER

  2. 2. Reconstruction of Fall Injuries for Children of Different Ages

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Författare :Linda Björgvinsdóttir; [2019]
    Nyckelord :Medical Engineering; Biomechanics; Neuronics; Reconstruction; Falls; Children; LS-Dyna; LS-PrePost; PIPER;

    Sammanfattning : The idea to use finite element (FE) models to reconstruct accidents for humans is becoming more popular the last years. They represent the human body very accurately and indicate well changes in shape, size and biomechanical properties. LÄS MER

  3. 3. Finite Element Modeling of Skull Fractures : Material model improvements of the skull bone in theKTH FE head model

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

    Författare :Frida Andersson; [2016]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The main aim of this project was to develop a model for predicting skull fractures of a 50th percentile male, using a finite element head model developed at the Neuronics department of KTH, Royal Instituteof Technology. The skull bone is modeled as a three layered bone, where the outer and inner tables are modeled as shell elements, while the diploë is modeled by two layers of solid elements. LÄS MER

  4. 4. Hip impact of the FE-model THUMS : Model adaptation and validation followed by an evaluation of the KTH developed shock absorbing floor system

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

    Författare :Tua Beskow; [2016]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Abstract Fall accidents leads to an average of three deaths a day in Sweden. The high mortality and morbidity associated with falls among elderly is due to a high risk of falling caused by impaired mobility, sight and balance in combination with increased vulnerability as a result of fragile bones as well as comorbid conditions.

  5. 5. Development of a Fall-Injury Reducing Flooring System in Geriatric Care : with focus on improving the models used in the biomechanical simulations and evaluating the first test area

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

    Författare :Julianne Okan; [2015]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Fall accidents are the type of accident in Sweden that cause most deaths, the largest number of hospitalizations, and most visits to the emergency room. The elderly are overrepresented in the statistics and with the aging population the costs are increasing. LÄS MER
