JohnsonKörper
JohnsonKörper is a fictional theoretical framework used in speculative biomechanics to model the human body as a modular system of units called JohnsonKörper Units (JKUs). Each JKU represents a body segment with defined mass properties, inertial parameters, joint constraints, and interaction with soft tissue. The framework combines rigid-body dynamics with deformable tissue models to simulate movement, load transfer, and injury risk in a computationally tractable way.
Origin and terminology: The name blends the English surname Johnson with the German word Körper, meaning body,
Structure and mechanics: A typical JohnsonKörper model comprises a chain of JKUs connected by joints with prescribed
Applications and reception: In the speculative domain, JohnsonKörper is used for digital anatomical visualization, sports analytics,
Related concepts include articulated body models, digital humans, and biomechanical simulation. Because JohnsonKörper is a fictional
