TLDR
A simple 2-degree-of-freedom model for the sternum, which correlates well with the analytic results, is presented and maximum normal stresses in the cartilage and bony regions of the individual ribs for one loading condition are given.About:

A model for studies of mechanical interactions between the human spine and rib cage
TL;DR: It was found that the mechanical response of the costo-vertebral joint is strongly influenced by articulation geometry, and the model predicted rib cage deformations in close agreement with those measured experimentally.

Measurements of the three-dimensional shape of the rib cage
Jean Dansereau,Ian A. F. Stokes +1 more
TL;DR: A stereoradiographic method was developed to measure the three-dimensional shape of the rib cage in vivo in order to provide descriptive data and to study symmetry in the normal population, although a trend of inequality of rib angulation at all anatomical levels was observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geometry of human ribs pertinent to orthopedic chest-wall reconstruction
TL;DR: A biometric foundation to generate specialized, anatomically contoured osteosynthesis hardware for rib fracture fixation is established and a novel strategy for intraoperative plate contouring is described to provide a foundation for the development of specialized rib osteoynthesis strategies.

Computational and experimental models of the human torso for non-penetrating ballistic impact.

TL;DR: Two computational finite element and experimental models of the human torso provide comparative tools for determining the thoracic response to ballistic impact and could be used to evaluate soft body armor design and efficacy, determineThoracic injury mechanisms and assist with injury prevention.

TL;DR: It is quite conceivable that in the future it will be possible to generate patient-specific models that could be used for patient assessment and even pre- and inter-operative planning, as computing power and software capabilities increase.

Head trauma--a parametric dynamic study.
TL;DR: A mathematical elastodynamic model, Baseline I, consisting of eleven degrees of freedom and describing the human skull, brain, spinal cord, neck, arms and torso as a system of discrete masses, linear translational and torsional springs has been developed.

TL;DR: A STANDARD 50th PERCENTILE ADULT MALE ANTHROPOMORPHIC DUMMY is described and a test process for DETERMINing theDYNAMIC SPRING RATE of the THORAX is conducted.
