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 …

Approximately 2.5 million US emergency department visits are linked to traumatic brain
injuries (TBI), with causes of injury including automotive vehicle crashes [1]. Within frontal …

Accurate material properties of the brain and skull are needed to examine the biomechanics
of head injury during highly dynamic loads such as blunt impact or blast. In this paper, a …

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) may be caused by occupational hazards military
personnel encounter, such as falls, shocks, exposure to blast overpressure events, and …

Two-dimensional mesoscale finite element analysis (FEA) of a multilayered brain tissue was
performed to calculate the damage-related average stress triaxiality and local maximum von …

Computational simulations are conducted for several head impact scenarios using a three
dimensional finite element model of the human brain in conjunction with accelerometer data …

Abstract Professor Herbert R. Lissner was a pioneer in impact biomechanics, having
initiated research on the injury mechanisms, mechanical response, and human tolerance of …

The intrinsic complexity of the human head and brain lies within the non-uniformity of their
constitutive components in terms of shape, material, function, and tolerance. Due to this …

Computational simulations of traumatic brain injury (TBI) are commonly used to advance
understanding of the injury–pathology relationship, tissue damage thresholds, and design of …

Previous studies have shown that both excessive linear and rotational accelerations are the
cause of head injuries. Although the head injury criterion has been beneficial as an indicator …
