The Stapp Car Crash Journal is published by The John Paul Stapp Association and is available through the Society of Automotive Engineers.
The scope of material contained in the Stapp Car Crash Journal includes new data on the biomechanics of injury and human tolerance, new methods and tools to study the biomechanics of injury, new developments in occupant protection systems, and new concepts on the biomechanics of injury based on experimental and analytical studies. Technical papers are peer reviewed by scientists in the field of injury biomechanics and vehicular safety engineering, with members of the Stapp Advisory Committee serving as associate editors to identify appropriate peer reviewers.

- Machine-Learning-Accelerated Simulations for the Design of Airbag Constrained by Obstacles at RestAuthors: José E. Valenzuela del Río, Elena Arvanitis, and Lucia Mirabella—Siemens Technology, United States; Richard Lancashire, Karan Chatrath, and Peter Ritmeijer—Siemens Industry Software, Netherlands Abstract Predicting airbag deployment geometries is an important task for airbag and vehicle designers to meet safety standards based on biomechanical injury risk functions. This prediction…
- Examination of Crash Injury Risk as a Function of Occupant DemographicsAuthors: Dainius Dalmotas, Aline Chouinard, Jean-Louis Comeau, Alan German, Glenn Robbins—D.J. Dalmotas Consulting, Inc.; Priya Prasad—Prasad Engineering, Inc. Abstract The objectives of this study were to provide insights on how injury risk is influenced by occupant demographics such as sex, age, and size; and to quantify differences within the context…
- Evaluation of DAMAGE Algorithm in Frontal CrashesAuthors: Priya Prasad—Prasad Engineering, Inc.; Saeed D. Barbat and Anil Kalra—Ford Motor Company; Dainius Dalmotas—D.J. Dalmotas Consulting, Inc. Abstract With the current trend of including the evaluation of the risk of brain injuries in vehicle crashes due to rotational kinematics of the head, two injury criteria have been introduced since…
