3D Dynamic Modeling of the Head-Neck Complex for Fast Eye and Head Orientation Movements Research
Figure 6
Detail of the submodel for the intervertebral disks in Simulink-SimMechanics. The disks interaction with the base and follower bodies (i.e., inferior and superior vertebrae) is modeled using a bushing joint. Responses in each one of the DOF are computed by an S-function taking into account the dynamic state of the base and follower bodies.
