INTRODUCTION
The study of biomechanical systems, such as the head-neck assembly, contributes to improving safety in means of transport. The tools developed by this discipline, whether physical prototypes or numerical finite-element models, can be used to determine the dynamic response of the human body to extreme loads. These tools are also valuable aids in the design, validation, evaluation and optimization of protection systems.
