abstract = {Although safety standards have reduced fatal head trauma due to single severe head impacts, mild trauma from repeated head exposures may carry risks of long-term chronic changes in the brain's function and structure. To study the physical sensitivities of the brain to mild head impacts, we developed the first dynamic model of the skull-brain based on in vivo MRI data. We showed that the motion of the brain can be described by a rigid-body with constrained kinematics. We further demonstrated that skull-brain dynamics can be approximated by an under-damped system with a low-frequency resonance at around 15 Hz. Furthermore, from our previous field measurements, we found that head motions in a variety of activities, including contact sports, show a primary frequency of less than 20 Hz. This implies that typical head exposures may drive the brain dangerously close to its mechanical resonance and lead to amplified brain-skull relative motions. Our results suggest a possible cause for mild brain trauma, which could occur due to repetitive low-acceleration head oscillations in a variety of recreational and occupational activities.

abstract = {The objective of the test program was to study the effect of parametric changes in helmet inertial properties on the biodynamic response of human volunteers subjected to +Gz impact accelerations. Test data was used to drive a computer model (DYNAMAN) to estimate the loads and torques in the neck during impact. Currently, only seven of eleven test cells with variations in the inertial properties of the helmet along the x-axis of the head have been analyzed. Preliminary data analysis indicates that the biodynamic response of the head under the tested conditions is slightly more sensitive to the moment of inertia of the helmet than its weight alone even though both variables showed a general trend for the head accelerations (linear and angular) to increase. It has been shown that the model can give good estimates of the compression loads in the neck, but that the torque estimates will be low, possibly by a factor of three. Further refinements of the neck joint parameters in the model will be required in order to increase the motion of the head segment during impact acceleration and will be done prior to completing the remaining test cell analysis. Finally, all the test data will be evaluated to determine if the current interim head criteria require modification.},
