Brain Response of a Computational Head Model for Prescribed Skull Kinematics and Simulated 3 Football Helmet Impact Boundary Conditions
Bruneau, David; Cronin, Duane (Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2021-03)Computational human body models (HBM) present a novel approach to predict brain response 3 in football impact scenarios, with prescribed kinematic boundary conditions for the HBM skull 4 typically used at present. However, ... -
Head and Neck Response of an Active 2 Human Body Model and Finite Element 3 Anthropometric Test Device During a 4 Linear Impactor Helmet Test
Bruneau, David; Cronin, Duane (American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2020-02-01)It has been proposed that neck muscle activation may play a role in head response resulting from impacts in American Football. The importance of neck stiffness and active musculature in the standard Linear Impactor Helmet ... -
Investigation of Head and Brain Response in Football Helmet Impacts using a Finite Element Model of the Head and Neck with Active Muscle
Bruneau, David (University of Waterloo, 2019-06-20)Among high school and college athletes, ∼50% of American football players report a concussion each year, and at least 30% of players sustain more than one concussion per year, which may be reduced in part through improvements ...
