The volume contains the detailed formulation of the equations of planar motion of a vehicle occupant in a crash environment. The features of the analytical model include: (1) an eight mass, fourteen degree of freedom representation of the human body; (2) an extensible multi-joint neck and a flexible shoulder joint; (3) simulation of muscle contraction as a time-dependent phenomenon; (4) the modeling of contact between the victim and the vehicle; (5) specification of material properties of vehicle and occupant in terms of general force-deformation relationships; (6) structural collapse resulting either from collision forces or occupant contact forces; (7) an airbag model; (8) an energy absorbing steering assembly; (9) an energy absorbing belt restraint submodel; (10) tabular three degree of freedom vehicle accelerations
