(WIT Press / Computational Mechanics, 2004-10-20)A combined experimental/numerical study has been conducted to investigate dynamic fractures in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PPMA). The results obtained from single-edge-notched-tensile (SENT) fracture tests support the idea ...

(Springer-Verlag, 2009-12-10)Two Finite Element models approximating the dynamic behaviour of functionally graded foam materials (FGFMs) have been developed under free weight drop impact and Kolsky wave propagation conditions. The FGFM is modeled by ...

(Springer-Verlag, 2005-06-30)This study describes a microdialysis model that investigates the biochemical response of the brain to non-fatal impact trauma. A controlled cortical impact (mild and severe) was performed to the left medial prefrontal ...

(ASTM International, 2014-04-04)Many studies have assessed the ability of hockey helmets to protect against falls and collisions, yet none have addressed the injury risk associated with puck impacts. Thus, the purpose of this study was to document the ...

(ASTM International, 2014-03-12)The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of impact angle on the dynamic response of a Hybrid III headform and brain tissue deformation by impacting the front and side of the headform with four angle ...

(ASTM International, 2014-03-17)When determining head injury risks through event reconstruction, it is important to understand how individual impact characteristics influence the dynamic response of the head and its internal structures. The effect of ...

Reconstructing Real Life Accidents Towards Establishing Criteria for Traumatic Head Impact Injuries (Springer-Verlag, 2005-06-30)Brain injury is the leading cause of death in those aged under 45 years in both Europe and the United States. The objective of this research is to reconstruct and analyse real world cases of accidental head injury, thereby ...

(Springer-Verlag, 2005-06-30)While Road Traffic Accidents continue to be the largest contributor to head injury, falls are usually second in prevalence. This paper looks at numerical modelling techniques, namely multibody body dynamics and finite ...

(ASTM International, 2003-06-01)The stress field in a tabbed straight-sided tensile test specimen has been studied theoretically and experimentally. It is shown that the stress field has to be studied at every point in the specimen. It is also shown that ...

(ASTM International, 2014-03-17)Head injuries, and concussion in particular, have become a source of interest in the sport of ice hockey. This study proposes a monorail test methodology combined with a finite element method to evaluate ice hockey helmets ...
