As an essential step toward improving the repeatability and reproducibility of crash dummy
head response to impact events, the geometric configuration of dummy heads must be more …

Biomechanical surrogates are used in various forms to study head impact response in
automotive applications and for assessing helmet performance. Surrogate headforms …

Helmet assessment protocols differ with respect to neckform and torso presence. To
determine the relative effects of neckform and torso masses on predicted three-dimensional …

Head rotational kinematics and tissue deformation metrics obtained from finite element
models (FEM) have the potential to be used as traumatic axonal injury (TAI) assessment …

Current understanding of blast wave transmission and mechanism of primary traumatic brain
injury (TBI) and the role of helmet is incomplete thus limiting the development of protection …

Mechanical response of the human head under a side car crash impact is crucial for
modeling traumatic brain injuries (TBI) or concussions. The current advances in …

Accidental falls occur to people of all ages, with some resulting in concussive injury. At
present, it is unknown whether children and adolescents are at a comparable risk of …

The objective of the study was to obtain helmet-to-head contact forces from experiments, use
a human head finite element model to determine regional responses, and compare outputs …

The influence of occupant restraint system on traumatic brain injuries in a front crash was
computationally investigated using multibody and finite element methods in a loosely …

Successful validation of a head injury model is critical to ensure its biofidelity. However,
there is an ongoing debate on what experimental data are suitable for model validation …
