Conclusions - 1
• Stress on retina and sclera accumulates (increases) as the shaking continues for certain material models for vitreous, e.g. viscoelastic or fluid.
• Maximum stress occurs around the vitreous-retina contact area both in front and back.
• Property of vitreous has great effect on maximum stress and stress distribution.
![Page 26: Computer modeling of ocular injury in infants exposed to acceleration](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051518/56815dff550346895dcc41e5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
04/22/23 GESAC, Inc 26
Conclusions - 2
• When using viscoelastic material for vitreous, smaller bulk modulus value shows a clearer stress accumulation effect. Rate of change of stress is more evident.
• When using fluid for vitreous, the viscosity coefficient does not show significant effect on maximum stress, stress accumulation effect, and stress distribution.

04/22/23 GESAC, Inc 27
Limitations - 1
• Current model does not include several important structures,such as lens, choroid, ciliary body, and cornea.
• Definition of distribution of fat and orbit geometry was approximated.
![Page 28: Computer modeling of ocular injury in infants exposed to acceleration](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051518/56815dff550346895dcc41e5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
04/22/23 GESAC, Inc 28
Limitations - 2
• Input motion was purely rotational at centre of the orbit.
• All model input data were obtained from literature, material data not verified by experimentation.
• Material property data were scaled and appropriateness of scaling has to evaluated.
![Page 29: Computer modeling of ocular injury in infants exposed to acceleration](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051518/56815dff550346895dcc41e5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
04/22/23 GESAC, Inc 29
Limitations - 3
• Effect of variation of mesh size, integration intervals and integration procedures have not been fully evaluated.
![Page 30: Computer modeling of ocular injury in infants exposed to acceleration](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051518/56815dff550346895dcc41e5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
04/22/23 GESAC, Inc 30
Limitations - 4
• All the material models used in this study are currently available in LS-Dyna material library. It may be necessary to develop new material models to fully describe the material used in this model.
• This is a preliminary study to provide a qualitative picture of what happens within the infant eye under repeated motion and results should be interpreted with caution.
![Page 31: Computer modeling of ocular injury in infants exposed to acceleration](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051518/56815dff550346895dcc41e5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
04/22/23 GESAC, Inc 31
Work in Progress - 1
• Study influence of additional features such as lens, choroid and ciliary body on model response.
• Develop a more accurate orbit geometry and fatty tissue distribution.
• Change center of motion to head CG. Both linear and angular motion will be used as input.
![Page 32: Computer modeling of ocular injury in infants exposed to acceleration](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051518/56815dff550346895dcc41e5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
04/22/23 GESAC, Inc 32
Work in Progress - 2
• Evaluate effect of mesh size change.• Evaluate effect of meshing axis.• Examine response under purely linear
deceleration like a typical frontal crash pulse. This will be an indirect method of validation of the model.
