Abstract EN
The objective of the present study is to investigate the influence of neck muscle activation on whiplash neck injury of the occupants of a passenger vehicle under different severities of frontal and rear-end impact collisions.
The finite element (FE) model has been used as a versatile tool to simulate and understand the whiplash injury mechanism for occupant injury prevention.
However, whiplash injuries and injury mechanisms have rarely been investigated in connection with neck active muscle forces, which restricts the complete reappearance and understanding of the injury mechanism.
In this manuscript, a mixed FE human model in a sitting posture with an active head-neck was developed.
The response of the cervical spine under frontal and rear-end collision conditions was then studied using the FE model with and without neck muscle activation.
The effect of the neck muscle activation on the whiplash injury was studied based on the results of the FE simulations.
The results indicated that the neck active force influenced the head-neck dynamic response and whiplash injury during a collision, especially in a low-speed collision.
