Investigation of Blast Load Characteristics On Lung Injury
(University of Waterloo, 2010-03-31)In many parts of the world, civilians and peacekeepers are exposed to potentially serious injury from blasts and explosions. Providing insight into the trauma thresholds for blast injury is necessary for the development ... -
Investigation of Primary Blast Injury and Protection using Sagittal and Transverse Finite Element Head Models
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-14)The prevalence of blast related mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in recent military conflicts, attributed in part to an increased exposure to improvised explosive devices (IEDs), requires further understanding to develop ... -
Primary Blast Injury of the Head: Numerical Prediction and Evaluation of Protection
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-30)The prevalence of injuries sustained from blast have been increasing over the past few decades due to the increasing use of Improvised Explosive Devices in areas where peacekeepers are deployed, as well as terrorist bombing ... -
Soft Materials under Air Blast Loading and Their Effect on Primary Blast Injury
(University of Waterloo, 2009-12-07)Injury from blast is significant in both military and civilian environments. Although injuries from blast are well-documented, the mechanisms of injury are not well understood. Developing better protection requires knowledge ...
