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 …

Computational models of the human neck have been developed to assess human response
in impact scenarios; however, the assessment and validation of such models is often limited …

Standards for sports headgear were introduced as far back as the 1960s and many have
remained substantially unchanged to present day. Since this time, headgear has virtually …

Injury due to underbody loading is increasingly relevant to the safety of the modern
warfighter. To accurately evaluate injury risk in this loading modality, a biofidelic …

Wearable sensors embedded with inertial measurement units have become commonplace
for the measurement of head impact biomechanics, but individual systems often suffer from a …

Mild traumatic brain injuries, or concussions, can result from head acceleration during
sports. Wearable sensors like the GForceTrackerTM (GFT) can monitor an athlete's head …

Development of a functional in-vivo head impact testing model would enhance the ability to
elucidate mechanisms underlying individual responses to head impact in sports where a …

In helmet impact testing, parameters including acceleration and velocity are measured using
instrumented head-neck models that are meant to be mechanically realistic (ie biofidelic) …

New generation pilot helmets with mounted devices enhance the capabilities of pilots
substantially. However, the additional equipment increases the helmet weight and shifts its …

Objective The objective of this study was to improve head-neck kinematic predictions of a
contemporary finite element (FE) head-neck model, assessed in rear impact scenarios (3 …
