Combat helmets provide protection against ballistic threats and blunt impact forces, and
wearing them has greatly reduced head injuries and saved lives of many soldiers. With the …

Biological cells are well known to respond to a multitude of chemical signals. In the nervous
system, chemical signaling has been shown to be crucially involved in development, normal …

Blast traumatic brain injury (BTBI) is the major type of injury, existing helmets are mainly
designed to resist bullets and fragments, so it is necessary to study the explosion-proof …

This study is aimed to develop a high quality, extensively validated finite element (FE)
human head model for enhanced head injury prediction and prevention. The geometry of …

The aim of this study is to evaluate all the 58 available NFL cases and compare various
predictors for mild traumatic brain injuries using a detailed and extensively validated finite …

Head acceleration measurement sensors are now widely deployed in the field to monitor
head kinematic exposure in contact sports. The wealth of impact kinematics data provides …

Finite element head (FE) models are important numerical tools to study head injuries and
develop protection systems. The generation of anatomically accurate and subject-specific …

In this paper, a functionally graded foam model is proposed in order to improve the energy
absorption characteristics offered by uniform foams. In this novel model, the characteristics …

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when local mechanical load exceeds certain tolerance
levels for brain tissue. Extensive research has been done previously for brain matter …

Although many studies on the mechanical properties of brain tissue exist, some controversy
concerning the possible differences in mechanical properties of white and gray matter …
