The paper addresses a safety of a pregnant passenger from an injury risk point of view regarding to the position of seatbelt’s lap part. The finite element based pregnant abdomen model is incorporated into the simplified rigid body based female body model. The study was d...

A new implementation of finite element matrix evaluation functions in the finite element code SfePy is introduced, leveraging several Python tensor contraction packages that implement a general function for evaluating expressions given using the Einstein summation convention. An example of the&#x...

The evaluation of strike impact is important for optimal training, conditioning and tactical use. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate ground and pound strikes, in terms of net force variability, across genders and performance levels. Eighty-one participants, professional men...

An automated driving system (ADS) shall provide safer conditions for highly automated vehicle (HAV) users compared to standard vehicles since the human error is excluded. In following decades, however, one can expect the mixed fleet of both standard and automated vehicles on roads. ...

Considering occupants’ safety in highly automated vehicles (HAVs) is one of the future trends in mobility. Passengers will not deal with driving the car anymore, as a result of the automated driving system (ADS) application. Seat backs can be reclined by occupants during long ...
