- A History of impact biomechanics, Part 1 – from the Ancient Greeks to the 1970s
- With a shout out to our own Raymond R McHenry:
- As early as 1966, the Society of Automotive Engineers published papers by Raymond McHenry validating computer simulations to sled tests, with parameters such as seat belt forces, dummy accelerations and kinematics. The first computer program SMAC (Simulation Model of Automobile Collisions) was developed by McHenry in the early 1970s. While modern crash simulation programs have much slicker graphic interfaces, many are still using and improving on these early validation algorithms.
- With a shout out to our own Raymond R McHenry:
- Ray began his career in automobile safety in occupant simulation:
- 1963 McHenry Occupant Simulation Pioneering Research (CAL2D)
- Which was followed up by the brilliant work of the late Dr. John Fleck with his creation of the ATB 3D occupant simulation model
- 1963 McHenry Occupant Simulation Pioneering Research (CAL2D)
