Contribution to the investigation of dynamic responses of human tissues under high velocity impacts using finite element modeling

Thoracic injuries happen frequently in various frameworks of high velocity impact biomechanics. Rib fractures and lung injuries are the most common hard and soft tissue injuries in human thorax. This thesis aims to contribute to the investigation of dynamic responses of human tissues especially ribs and soft tissues under high velocity impacts using finite element modeling. Firstly, a novel strain-rate-dependent elasto-hydrodynamic constitutive law of the synthetic polymer Styrene-Ethylene-Butylene-Styrene (SEBS) gel was proposed and implemented as a user material subroutine in Radioss (Altair Hyperworks) to interpret dynamic behaviors of SEBS gel under various loading configurations.
