- The computational tool developed here instigated consultancy work (£89k) with the UK’s Defence Science & Technology Laboratory (DSTL). DSTL are using it as a virtual test-bed for assessing injury risk in military vehicles. The work won the 2015 MSC.Software Simulating Reality Contest, and led to the last author’s membership of the HFM-271 NATO task group on injury assessment methods for vehicle occupants in blast-related events. The model initiated collaboration with the Centre for Applied Biomechanics, University of Virginia who now have the model and use it to design full scale cadaveric experiments (contact: FoEREF@ic.ac.uk).
