TLDR
Though the present study is limited in scope, the predetermined placement of the internal sensors in the THOR dummy underpredicted chest deflection-related injury variables, and the viscous criterion was the least reliable variable in these lateral and oblique far-side impact sled tests.About:

Analysis of chest response characters for drivers in lateral and oblique automotive impact
TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the characteristics of the chest injury of occupants in the oblique and lateral impact of a vehicle side structure and provided a reference for the subsequent improvement of the restraint system.

A viscous tolerance criterion for soft tissue injury assessment
David C. Viano,Ian V. Lau +1 more
TL;DR: The Viscous criterion accurately predicts the risk of vital organ and soft tissue injury when other criteria fail, and is shown to be an indicator of the energy dissipated by soft tissue deformation.

Low energy supersymmetry from the landscape
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the landscape seems to favor low energy supersymmetry at a very low scale, quite possibly at a tree level and non-perturbative effects.

TL;DR: Existing side impact injury criteria were evaluated such as Thoracic Trauma Index (TTI), Average Spinal Acceleration (ASA), full and half thorax deflections, chest velocity and viscous criterion, and contact force and results indicate that maximum normalized average halfThorax deflection was the best predictor of AIS/=3 and AIS>/=4 thoracic injury.

Assessment of the safety benefits of vehicles’ advanced driver assistance, connectivity and low level automation systems
TL;DR: This research found that the CV&DA technologies could lead to the reduction of light vehicles' crashes and heavy trucks' crashes by at least 32.99% and 40.88%, respectively, based on the 2005-2008 GES Crash Records.
