The University of Virginia Impact Biomechanics Research Group is involved in a wide spectrum of research activities and projects for improving various aspects of injury prevention and control. Experimental work is conducted at an 11,000 sq. ft. facility that houses an automobile test sled and a variety of state-of-the-art equipment for safety-related and impact biomechanics testing, as well as biomechanical material preparation facilities. Current projects include development and evaluation of lower extremity and thoracic injury criteria, biofidelity evaluation of future crash test dummies, investigation of high performance aircraft ejection and crash loading, characterization of biological materials, and design of helmets for the U.S. Army.
