Skull fractures occurring under various impacts are required to be evaluated during forensic
investigations or during design of a head protection device. Finite element analysis using a …

Diffuse brain injuries are caused by excessive brain deformation generated primarily by
rapid rotational head motion. Metrics that describe the severity of brain injury based on head …

Abstract Head injuries account for 15%–20% of all military injuries and pose a high risk of
causing functional disability and fatality. Blunt ballistic impacts are one of the threats that can …

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), more colloquially known as concussion, is common in
contact sports such as American football, leading to increased scrutiny of head protective …

Most studies on football helmet performance focus on lowering head acceleration-related
parameters to reduce concussions. This has resulted in an increase in helmet size and …

The mechanisms of concussion have been investigated by many researchers using a variety
of methods. However, there remains much debate over the relationships between head …

Blunt impacts contribute more than 95% of brain trauma injuries in Malaysia. Modelling and
simulation of these impacts are essential in understanding the mechanics of the injuries to …

The use of anthropomorphic test devices in head impact biomechanics research is common;
however, each device has unique properties based on its construction. When conducting …

The brain response to the explosion-induced primary blast waves is actively sought. Over
the past decade, reasonable progress has been made in the fundamental understanding of …

Head impacts in bicycle accidents are typically oblique to the impact surface and transmit
both normal and tangential forces to the head, causing linear and rotational head …
