Context: Heading, an integral component of soccer, exposes athletes to a large number of
head impacts over a career. The literature has begun to indicate that cumulative exposure …

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 …

This article introduces a new approach for the construction of a risk model for the prediction
of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) as a result of a car crash. The probability of TBI is assessed …

The primary goal of the American football helmet has been protection of players against
skull fractures and other traumatic brain injuries (TBI)[Cantu 2003, Benson 2009]. TBI can …

The impact force loss behavior of flocked energy absorbing materials (FEAM) was
experimentally studied in the context of double-side flocked FEAM element layered …

The objective of this research was to develop an optimal design for a polymeric American
football helmet liner for concussion prevention utilizing experiments and high performance …

Sporting helmets with linear attenuating strategies are proficient at reducing the risk of
traumatic brain injury. However, the continued high incidence of concussion in American …
