Instrumentation in Experimental Design

  • Chapter
Accidental Injury

Abstract

Insightful experimental design is crucial to the success of investigative science. Application of appropriate technique and technology follows recognition of the problem to be solved. Investigation of the biomechanics of trauma often involves discovering how input energy relates to resulting kinematics and dynamics, and how these quantities correlate with observed injury. It is in this way that injury responses, tolerances, and mechanisms are determined This information is vital to the development of predictive models that assist engineers, physicians, and scientists in their efforts to understand and reduce injury.
