A finite element (FE) simulation environment has been developed to investigate aviator
head and neck response during a simulated rotary-wing aircraft impact using both an FE …

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 …

Among high school and college athletes,∼ 50% of American football players report a
concussion each year, and at least 30% of players sustain more than one concussion per …

The head impact exposure experienced by football players at the college and high school
levels has been well documented; however, there are limited data regarding youth football …

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 …

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 …

Head surrogates are widely used in biomechanical research and headgear assessment.
They are designed to approximate the inertial and mechanical properties of the head and …

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 …

Head impact sensors measure head kinematics in sports, and sensor accuracy is crucial for
investigating the potential link between repetitive head loading and clinical outcomes. Many …

The objective of this study was to develop and validate a set of Hybrid-III head and neck (HIII-
