Blast and ballistic impacts are high-strain rate events that can cause catastrophic damage to
structures and endanger human lives. Shielding materials play a critical role in mitigating the …

Region of interest (ROI) volumetric assessment has become a standard technique in
quantitative neuroimaging. ROI volume is thought to represent a coarse proxy for making …

Traumatic head injuries remain a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Although
skull fractures are one of the most common head injuries, the fundamental mechanics of …

Background Multiple studies describing human head finite element (FE) models have
established the importance of including the major cerebral vasculature to improve the …

Protective equipment in war plays a vital role in the safety of soldiers, the threat to soldiers
from brain damage caused by deformation at the back of the helmet cannot be ignored, so …

Several occupational and leisure activities involve a high risk of head impacts, resulting in
varying degrees of injuries with chronic consequences that adversely affect life quality. The …

Understanding the impact severity of unmanned aircraft system (UAS) collisions with the
human body remains a challenge and is essential to the development of safe UAS …

Results of a recent experimental study challenge the widely-held belief that modern combat
helmets are more effective at protecting soldiers against concussions. The research shows …

Cellular and tissue-scale indent/impact thresholds for different mechanisms of functional
impairments to the brain would be the preferred method to predict head injuries, but a …

In this study, the effect of the impact angle of a projectile during low-velocity impact on Kevlar
fabrics has been investigated using a simplified numerical model. The implementation of …
