Abstract:Third of four parts. This task evaluates the Global Human Body Models Consortium (GHBMC) models representing obese people with respect to the obese postmortem human surrogates test series of tabletop belt pull tests previously performed at the University of Virginia’s Center for Applied Biomechanics. Using a finite element model of the test fixtures, 3D drawings of the original test fixtures were obtained and meshed. To investigate whether the GHBMC obesity model can show kinematics like the PMHS, additional sensitivity studies were performed. The results showed that none of the implemented changes could lead the GHBMC obesity model to submarining.
