Whiplash Injury Analysis of Cervical Vertebra by Finite Element Method / 法医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Finite element method (FEM) is an effective mathematical method for stress analysis, and has been gradually applied in the study of biomechanics of human body structures. This paper reviews the construction, development, materials assignment and verification of FEM model of cervical vertebra, and it also states the research results of injury mechanism of whiplash injury and biomechanical re-sponse analysis of the cervical vertebra using FEM by researchers at home and abroad.
