Home Biomechanics Library Graphics & Animation Testing Simulation Related Links Contact The BEI test center has a 32-channel data acquisition system that is capable of collecting data up to 10 kHz. Our many transducers include accelerometers, tension/compression load cells, strain gauges, and pressure sensors. Two Hybrid III dummy heads are in-house equipment and full Hybrid III dummies are available when needed. Other test equipment includes a drop tower, Phantom high-speed video cameras and Faro laser scanners. In addition to testing conducted directly for clients, our test center staff works in conjunction with our engineers and researchers to conduct testing that supports our biomechanical analysis and research projects. Some examples of tests conducted by BEI include: Head drops Full-scale vehicle crashes Bumper impacts Bumper component evaluation Human volunteer testing Pre-impact braking Amusement ride testing Seat back / seat bottom testing Restraint system testing Airbag deployment Webbing elongation Webbing pull Inertial release Retractor evaluations All content © 2009 Biodynamics Engineering, Inc.

Home Biomechanics Library Graphics & Animation Testing Simulation Related Links Contact Injury biomechanics involves the study of how injuries are caused and how they can be prevented. BEI specializes in analyzing injuries and alleged injury events. By considering the human body as a structure from an engineering perspective, BEI analyzes an injury event to determine how the injury occurred, if the injury is consistent with circumstances described by eye witnesses, and how the injury pattern might be altered or eliminated under a different set of circumstances. BEI has conducted injury analysis in thousands of cases including: Automobile accidents Aircraft accidents Motorcycle accidents Bicycle accidents Diving accidents Pedestrian accidents Falls from heights Gunshot wound incidents Police brutality incidents Domestic Altercations Slip and Fall accidents Playground equipment accidents Exercise equipment accidents Sporting event accidents BEI has done extensive consulting work regarding the biomechanics of injury for automobile product liability litigation.
