Abstract
Although internal organ injury in car crashes occurs at a relatively lower frequency compared to bone fracture, it tends to be ranked higher in terms of injury severity. A generalized injury risk can be assessed in car crash tests by evaluating abdominal force and viscous criterion (VC) using a crash test dummy, but the injury risk to each organ cannot be estimated with current dummies due to a lack of parts representing the internal organs. Recently, human body modeling research has been conducted introducing organ parts. It is still a challenge to simulate the impact behavior of organ parts and their injury, based on an understanding of the differences in structure and material properties among the organs.
