Military personnel sustain head and brain injuries as a result of ballistic, blast, and blunt
impact threats. Combat helmets are meant to protect the heads of these personnel during …

Blast-induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI) is a rising health concern of soldiers deployed in
modern-day military conflicts. For bTBI, blast wave loading is a cause, and damage incurred …

In studying traumatic brain injury (TBI), it has been long hypothesized that the head is more
vulnerable to injury from impacts in certain directions or locations, as the relationship …

Measurements of brain deformations under injurious loading scenarios are actively sought.
In this work, we report experimentally measured head kinematics and corresponding …

Approximately 1.6–3.8 million sports-related traumatic brain injuries occur each year in the
US Researchers track the head motion using a variety of techniques to study the head injury …

Although blast-induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI) is well recognized for its significance in
the military population, the unique mechanisms of primary bTBI remain undefined. Animate …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Multiple injury-causing mechanisms, such as wave propagation, skull flexure, cavitation, and
head acceleration, have been proposed to explain blast-induced traumatic brain injury …
