Vector Scientific, Inc. (VSI) would like to congratulate Akshara Sreedhar and her co-authors at The Ohio State University on their presentation and publication at the 2021 International Research Council on Biomechanics of Injury (IRCOBI) Conference. Their study was titled "Exploratory Comparison of Human Rib Structural Behavior in Two Dynamic Loading Scenarios."
The objective of the study was to identify biomechanical response differences in human ribs subjected to frontal loading vs. combined loading (frontal loading with the side constraint). More severe outcomes were observed in the combined loading scenario which may have implications for injury outcomes and restraint systems deployment in real-world motor vehicle crashes.

Ms. Sreedhar worked on this research project with her co-authors while a graduate student at The Ohio State University's Injury Biomechanics Research Center and since joined the biomechanical team at VSI where she applies her knowledge and experience with experimental data like this study to biomechanical analyses of automobile accidents as well as other cases.
