hic

The Head Injury Criterion commonly used to measure potential for head injury.

Syntax

hic(vector1, vector2, scalar1, [scalar2], [scalar3], [specification])

Arguments

vector1
The time vector of data to analyze (second).
vector2
The head acceleration vector (g).
scalar1
Window in milliseconds (usually 36ms for head).
scalar2
Return vector type (optional):
Not present or (arg4 != 1 && arg4 != 2), a single vector containing the following three members:
  • [0] = hic value (g)
  • [1] = lower time window (sec)
  • [2] = upper time window (sec)
== 1, a single vector containing the following four members (use as X-axis):
  • [0] = lower time window (sec)
  • [1] = lower time window (sec)
  • [2] = upper time window (sec)
  • [3] = upper time window (sec)
== 2, a single vector containing the following four members (use as Y-axis):
  • [0] = 0.0
  • [1] = hic value (g)
  • [2] = hic value (g)
  • [3] = 0.0
scalar3hic
Flag to turn on the debug mode (prints to Message Log). Optional argument (default = off).
specification
1 - JNCAP specification (default).
2 - NHTSA specification.

Example

hic(p1w1c1.x, p1w1c1.y, 36)
