Notă biografică
Dr. Melanie Franklyn has a PhD in Biomedical Engineering and is an internationally
recognised expert in impact injury biomechanics, trauma, orthopaedics
and sports injuries. She is currently employed as a research scientist in impact
injury biomechanics at the Defence Science & Technology Group (DST
Group) Australia (since 2010) and is also an honorary senior research fellow
in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at The University of Melbourne
(since 2010). Dr. Franklyn established and developed the capability in military
injury biomechanics at DST Group, where her research includes military helmet
evaluation, Behind Armour Blunt Trauma (BABT), brain injury prediction using finite element models,
the development of injury criteria for the spine and pelvis, and injury prediction methodology for
underbelly vehicle blast tests. She also conducts injury biomechanics work at The University of Melbourne,
including research on tibial stress injuries, trauma and orthopaedics.
Dr. Franklyn was previously employed as a research fellow at the Monash University Accident
Research Centre (2001–2009 inclusive) where her research focused on occupant injury in automotive
crashes, crashworthiness, computer modelling, injury coding, trauma and sports injuries. She is a certified
abbreviated injury scale specialist through the Association for the Advancement of Automotive
Medicine (AAAM) and is a qualified injury coding instructor. Dr. Franklyn is on the editorial board of
the World Journal of Orthopaedics and is a reviewer for various international journals and granting
bodies. She has also supervised numerous graduate student projects and her research has been featured
in various forums such as the ABC Catalyst TV programme.
Dr. Peter Lee is currently a professor in the Melbourne School of Engineering at
The University of Melbourne. He obtained his BEng in Mechanical Engineering
(1991) and PhD (1996) in bioengineering from the University of Strathclyde,
UK, and continued his post-doc in the same university from 1996 to 1998.
He was a research fellow with the Biomaterials Group at the Institute of
Materials Research and Engineering, Singapore, from 1998 to 2001. In 2001,
he joined the Defence Medical and Environmental Research Institute,
DSO National Laboratories, Singapore, as the head of the Bioengineering
Laboratory. He joined The University of Melbourne as a senior lecturer in 2008.
Professor Lee is recognised internationally in tissue biomechanics research, injury biomechanics
and rehabilitation engineering. He has published more than 140 articles in journals, conference
proceedings and books. He currently leads a research team focusing on understanding impact-type
injuries to the body, leading to effective prevention strategies. His research spans all three levels –
the human, organs and cells. These investigations also apply computational models to further understand
diseases and injuries to the various joints in the body.

Descriere
The book provides a standard reference manual for researchers, postgraduate students and others working or studying the fields of defence injury research and impact injury. It will provides information that would be quite difficult to source elsewhere unless the reader is already experienced in the discipline and knows where to find the appropri
