Despite the use of helmets in American football, brain injuries are still prevalent. To reduce
the burden of these injuries, novel impact mitigation systems are needed. The Vicis Zero1 …

Abstract ViVA Open Human Body Model (HBM) is an open-source human body model that
was developed to fill the gap of currently available models that lacked the average female …

Abstract The CEN/TC158/WG11 is developing a new helmet test that takes into account
tangential loading. In order to derive a realistic injury risk induced by tangential loading …

The circumstances in which we mechanically test and critically assess human calvarium
tissue would find relevance under conditions encompassing real-world head impacts. These …

Impact parameters used to design the American football helmet and the parameters
associated with mechanisms of concussive injury are not consistent. Head impacts resulting …

Commercially available headforms, such as the Hybrid-III and EN 960 headforms, have
been used effectively to investigate the mechanics of head impacts. These headforms may …

Advanced computational human body models (HBM) enabling enhanced safety require
verification and validation at different levels or scales. Specifically, the motion segments …

Blunt impact assessment of the Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH) is currently based on the
linear head response. The current study presents a methodology for testing the ACH under …

Behind helmet blunt trauma is a significant health concern in modern warfare. The ballistic
response of the human head under ballistic impact is highly sought. Towards this end, we …

Concussion, or mild traumatic brain injury, occurs in many activities, mostly as a result of the
head being accelerated. A comprehensive study has been conducted to understand better …
