Impact testing of pedestrian headforms is usually conducted at one velocity and with one
mass of headform, but real impacts occur at a range of velocities and masses. A method is …

This study is aimed to develop a high quality, extensively validated finite element (FE)
human head model for enhanced head injury prediction and prevention. The geometry of …

Severe head injuries can occur in cyclists involved in traffic accidents. In Japan, head
injuries accounted for 62% of cyclist fatalities in 2015 (ITARDA, 2016). The purpose of this …

It has been proposed that neck muscle activation may play a role in head response resulting
from impacts in American Football. The importance of neck stiffness and active musculature …

Pedestrian headform impact tests are generally carried out at a fixed impact speed, which
varies depending on the test protocol in use. Thus, it may be desirable to extrapolate a …

For cyclist fatalities in 2014 in Japan, the head was the most frequently injured body region.
In the present study, the authors analyzed the features of cyclist head injuries in real-world …

Head impact exposure in popular contact sports is not well understood, especially in the
youth population, despite recent advances in impact-sensing technology which has allowed …

This study is aimed to develop a next-generation, high quality, extensively validated finite
element (FE) human head model for enhanced head injury prediction and prevention. The …

Pedestrian impact testing is used to assess the relative level of protection from a vehicle to a
pedestrian in the event of a collision. Testing is conducted as part of new car assessment …

For the past 20 years or so, performance requirements intended to protect motor vehicle
occupants against head injury have invariably been based on the use of the Head Injury …
