N2  - While a human finite element (FE) model for crash simulations incorporating failure models is capable of predicting occurrence or nonoccurrence of bone fractures, it is difficult to quantitatively estimate probability of fractures using the results of the FE simulations. Simple injury indices that can be used for estimating probability of fractures using human FE models without failure functions are needed for avoiding check of element stress or strain at unpredictable fracture locations. The goal of this study was to develop a pelvis injury index that can be used for quantitatively estimating probability of pedestrian pubic rami fractures.<p />  <p>Language: ja</p>
