Substantialfundamental workhas been undertaken inthe different
aspects of impact biomechanics over the past three decades. Much of
this has been motivated and undertaken bythe automotive industry
intheirefforts to improve transport safety. More recently, however,
it has become app- ent that themultidisciplinary synergies which
are realisedby interactions between engineers, scientists and
clinical practitioners will ultimately lead to a greater
understanding of the complex interacting phenomena withinthe human
bodyafter it has sustained an impact. In turn, this greater depth
of knowledge will provide more fundamentalinsights into the
analysis, d- gnosis, treatment and prevention ofimpact injuries
across a broader sp- trum of accident environments. Thescienti?c
focus of this IUTAM symposium istoaddress those t- ics that are
centrally important to the biomechanics ofimpact. These can be
groupedinto those that are concerned with the different causes of -
cidents (e. g. , transport, occupational and sports injuries),
themechanics - volvedinaccident analysis (e. g. , accident
investigation, computational m- elling techniques), the different
types of resulting traumatic injuries (incl- ing musculoskeletal,
organ, spinal and head injuries), methods of asse- ing the extent
of injury (e. g. , injury assessment, injury criteria, constitutive
laws for human tissue), and providing protection during an impact
(e. g. , injury prevention, energy absorption materials, and safety
devices).
