Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a biomechanical problem where the initiating event is dynamic
loading (blunt, inertial, blast) to the head. To understand the relationship between the …

Understanding of in vivo brain biomechanical behavior is critical in the study of traumatic
brain injury (TBI) mechanisms and prevention. Using tagged magnetic resonance imaging …

This study investigated impact-induced strain fields within brain tissue surrogates having
different cortical gyrification. Two elastomeric surrogates, one representative of a …

Noninvasive measurements of brain deformation in human participants in vivo are needed
to develop models of brain biomechanics and understand traumatic brain injury (TBI) …

Behind helmet blunt trauma is a significant health concern in modern warfare. The ballistic
response of the human head under ballistic impact is highly sought. Towards this end, we …

Current understanding of the biomechanics of cervical spine injuries in head-first impact is
based on decades of epidemiology, mathematical models, and in vitro experimental studies …

A finite element model (FEM) of the human head attached to a Hybrid III FEM neck was
developed to study the effects of blast loading on the brain. Simulations of blast loading to …

Participants in American football experience repetitive head impacts that induce negative
changes in neurocognitive function over the course of a single season. This study aimed to …

ABSTRACT Introduction The Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH) military specification (mil-
spec) provides blunt impact acceleration criteria that must be met before use by the US …

Concussion, or mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), is frequently associated with sports
activities. It has generally been accepted that neck strengthening exercises are effective as a …
