    A new response probability density function technique predicts injury likelihood in biodynamic events. This method, particularly effective with lognormal distributions, aids in predicting damage from sonic booms and impacts.

    Area of Science:

    • Biodynamic analysis
    • Injury prediction modeling
    • Probability density functions

    Background:

    • Predicting injury probability in biodynamic scenarios is crucial.
    • Existing methods may not fully capture complex force and material responses.
    • Sonic boom damage prediction highlighted the need for advanced modeling.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • Introduce the response probability density function (RPDF) technique.
    • Demonstrate its application in predicting injury probability.
    • Showcase its utility in biodynamic situations, including sonic booms and impacts.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized probability density functions (PDFs) for excitation force and material sensitivity.
    • Employed the RPDF technique, simplified when PDFs are lognormal.
