Stapp Car Crash Journal and Stapp Technical Papers

The Stapp Car Crash Journal is the journal of the John Paul Stapp Association and is published annually by the Society of Automotive Engineers. All papers published in the Stapp Car Crash Journal are presented at the annual Stapp Car Crash Conference®.

The Stapp Association was founded in honor of John Paul Stapp, pioneer researcher of human tolerance to crash decelerations. Members of the Stapp Association are international leaders in impact biomechanics research and comprise the Stapp Advisory Committee. The Association is dedicated to the dissemination of research findings in impact biomechanics, human tolerance to impact trauma, and crash injury protection. This is achieved primarily through the annual Stapp Car Crash Journal and associated conference.

The scope of material contained in the Stapp Journal includes new data on the biomechanics of injury and human tolerance, new methods and tools to study the biomechanics of injury, new developments in occupant protection systems, and new concepts on the biomechanics of injury based on experimental and analytical studies. Stapp technical papers are extensively reviewed by members of the Stapp Advisory Committee and have been judged to warrant publication in the open scientific literature. Publication of these papers does not constitute endorsement or agreement with their content by the reviewers, The Stapp Association, the publisher, or their members or staff. Opinions and data presented in these papers are the responsibility of the authors.
