Neck Injury Criterion used to measure potential for neck injury.

Syntax

output = Nij(xforce, zforce, ymoment, dummy_type, mode, condyle_correction)

Arguments

Name

Description

xforce

A vector containing the neck x component force (N).

zforce

A vector containing the neck z component force (N).

ymoment

A vector containing the neck y component moment (Nm). The three vectors must contain real data only.

dummy_type

1 = CRABI

2 = H3 3yr

3 = H3 6yr

4 = H3 5th

5 = H3 50th

6 = H3 95th

mode

This argument determines the Nij curve to return.

1 = Ntf

2 = Nte

3 = Ncf

4 = Nce

5 = {max(Ntf), max(Nte), max(Ncf), max(Nce)}

6 = Ntf without 0.00 constraint

7 = Nte without 0.00 constraint

8 = Ncf without 0.00 constraint

9 = Nce without 0.00 constraint

10 = {max(Ntf), max(Nte), max(Ncf), max(Nce)} without 0.00 constraint

condyle_correction

1 = yes (yMoment = yMoment - xForce * fCondyle)

0 = no

Outputs

Name

Description

output

A vector of data specified by mode.

Example

Find the Ntf curve for an H3 50th percentile dummy with no condyle correction for the specified force and moment vectors.

Syntax

output = Nij(xforce, zforce, ymoment, 5, 1, 0)
