RISA Laboratory Study on Effects of Cycling Helmet Fit on Biomechanical Measures Associated With Head and Neck Injury and Dynamic Helmet Retention
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: There is a scant biomechanical literature that tests, in a laboratory setting, whether or not determinants of helmet fit affect biomechanical parameters associated with injury. Using conventional cycling helmets and ...
Evaluation of the Kinematic Biofidelity and Inter-Test Repeatability of Global Accelerations and Brain Parenchyma Pressure for a Head–Brain Physical Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: 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 are instrumented to measure global head kinematics. ...
Review of Mechanisms and Research Methods for Blunt Ballistic Head Injury
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Head injuries account for 15%–20% of all military injuries and pose a high risk of causing functional disability and fatality. Blunt ballistic impacts are one of the threats that can lead to severe head injuries. This ...
Protective Headgear Attenuates Forces on the Inner Table and Pressure in the Brain Parenchyma During Blast and Impact: An Experimental Study Using a Simulant-Based Surrogate Model of the Human Head
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Military personnel sustain head and brain injuries as a result of ballistic, blast, and blunt impact threats. Combat helmets are meant to protect the heads of these personnel during injury events. Studies show peak kinematics ...
Compressive Follower Load Influences Cervical Spine Kinematics and Kinetics During Simulated Head First Impact in an in Vitro Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Current understanding of the biomechanics of cervical spine injuries in headfirst impact is based on decades of epidemiology, mathematical models, and in vitro experimental studies. Recent mathematical modeling suggests ...
The Mechanical Characterization and Comparison of Male and Female Calvaria Under Four-Point Bending Impacts
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The circumstances in which we mechanically test and critically assess human calvarium tissue would find relevance under conditions encompassing real-world head impacts. These conditions include, among other variables, ...
