Finite element modeling and injury criteria investigation for the lower leg of the Chinese human body under impact loads

The widely used human body injury criteria were established based on the biomechanical response of the EuroAmerican human body,without considering the differences in anthropometry and injury characteristics among different races,particularly the Chinese human body which typically has the smaller body size.The absence of such race specific design considerations negatively influences the injury prevention capability for these populations,and weakens the applicability of injury criteria.To resolve these issues,this study aims to develop a lower leg finite element model of a 50th percentile Chinese male.The model is built based on the medical images of an average size Chinese male with detailed ankle ligaments and lower leg muscles modeled.Data from sixty experiments available in the literature are used to validate its biofidelity.Using the validated model,the lower leg model is subjected to combined axial compression and bending loads to evaluate its injury criteria.Compared with a typical Euro-American human body mode,the Chinese lower leg presents reduced mechanical tolerance,and the revised tibia index may be an appropriate injury criteria for the Chinese lower leg.Additionally,the validated model reproduces the pedestrian lower leg fracture in a domestic accident.

In addition, the dynamic characteristics are taken intoconsideration of the human body, thus providing a fine basis for the establishment of the bumanbody animation.

Rapid 3D human body modeling based on Kinect technology

The 3D shape of the human body is useful for applications in fitness, games and apparel. Accurate body scanners, howev- er, are expensive, limiting the availability of 3D body models. In this paper, we focus on the human body 3D modeling using one Kinect sensor modeling method. To get the human body model fast, three steps in rapid modeling of the human body are carried out. Firstly, according to anthropometric parameters, the standard model is parameterized; Secondly, the Kinect depth image of the human body model is gotten through, then, by using the PCL library the point cloud data is processed and matched, and the human body model is optimized; Finally, the realistic human body model is obtained with the rapid integration of the standard model and PCL library.

Human Body Modeling and Posture Simulating Based on 3D Surface Scan Data

This paper presents a new approach for modeling the human body by considering the motion state and the shape of whole body. The body model consists of a skeleton kinematic model and a surface model. The former is used to determine the posture of the body,and the latter is used to generate the body shape according to the given posture. The body surface is reconstructed with multi-segment B-spline surfaces based on the 3D scan data from a real human body.Using only a few joints parameters and the original surface scan data, the various body postures and the shape can be generated easily. The model has a strong potential of being used for ergonomic design,garment design, virtual reality environment, as well as creating human animation, etc.

Gray Model of Human Body Shape

In order to determine the control dimensions of human body in pattern construction and provide the basis for size specification in clothing industry, a gray model is described and established in the application of predicting size specification. By comparing the features of gray model and regression model, it is proved that the former has many advantages over the latter, i.e. more practical and more effective in this application. So it is strongly suggested to apply the innovative gray model instead of the traditional regression model to facilitate the calculation procedure in pattern construction.

Evolution and Development of the Information Concept in Biological Systems: From Empirical Description to Informational Modeling of the Living Structures

With the purpose to smooth the way of a correct understanding of information concepts and their evolution,in this paper,is discussed the evolution and development of the concept of information in biological systems,showing that this concept was intuitively perceived even since ancient times by our predecessors,and described according to their language level of that times,but the crystallization of the real meaning of information is an achievement of our nowadays,by successive contribution of various scientific branches and personalities of the scientific community of the world,leading to a modern description/modeling of reality,in which information plays a fundamental role.It is shown that our reality can be understood as a contribution of matter/energy/information and represented/discussed as the model of the Universal Triangle of Reality(UTR),where various previous models can be suggestively inserted,as a function of their basic concern.The modern concepts on information starting from a theoretic experiment which would infringe the thermodynamics laws and reaching the theory of information and modern philosophic concepts on the world structuration allow us to show that information is a fundamental component of the material world and of the biological structures,in correlation with the structuration/destructuration processes of matter,involving absorption/release of information.Based on these concepts,is discussed the functionality of the biologic structures and is presented the informational model of the human body and living structures,as a general model of info-organization on the entire biological scale,showing that a rudimentary proto-consciousness should be operative even at the low-scale biological systems,because they work on the same principles,like the most developed bio-systems.The operability of biologic structures as informational devices is also pointed out.

In addition, the results calculated from the model can be used to optimize the distribution of the tube-net lined on the WCV and to evaluate an individual thermal conditioning system with cooling water. The results obtained from the model agree well with the author's experimental data.

Thermal Infrared Salient Human Detection Model Combined with Thermal Features in Airport Terminal

Target detection in low light background is one of the main tasks of night patrol robots for airport terminal.However,if some algorithms can run on a robot platform with limited computing resources,it is difficult for these algorithms to ensure the detection accuracy of human body in the airport terminal. A novel thermal infrared salient human detection model combined with thermal features called TFSHD is proposed. The TFSHD model is still based on U-Net,but the decoder module structure and model lightweight have been redesigned. In order to improve the detection accuracy of the algorithm in complex scenes,a fusion module composed of thermal branch and saliency branch is added to the decoder of the TFSHD model. Furthermore,a predictive loss function that is more sensitive to high temperature regions of the image is designed. Additionally,for the sake of reducing the computing resource requirements of the algorithm,a model lightweight scheme that includes simplifying the encoder network structure and controlling the number of decoder channels is adopted. The experimental results on four data sets show that the proposed method can not only ensure high detection accuracy and robustness of the algorithm,but also meet the needs of real-time detection of patrol robots with detection speed above 40 f/s.

Realistic Modeling and Animation of Human Body Based on Scanned Data

In this paper we propose a novel method for building animation model of realhuman body from surface scanned data. The human model is represented by a triangular mesh anddescribed as a layered geometric model. The model consists of two layers: the control skeletongenerating body animation from motion capture data, and the simplified surface model providing anefficient representation of the skin surface shape. The skeleton is generated automatically fromsurface scanned data using the feature extraction, and then a point-to-line mapping is used to mapthe surface model onto the underlying skeleton. The resulting model enables real-time and smoothanimation by manipulation of the skeleton while maintaining the surface detail. Compared withearlier approach, the principal advantages of our approach are the automated generation of bodycontrol skeletons from the scanned data for real-time animation, and the automatic mapping andanimation of the captured human surface shape. The human model constructed in this work can be usedfor applications of ergonomic design, garment CAD, real-time simulating humans in virtual realityenvironment and so on.
