ABSTRACT = {The modeling of the response of the human head to blast like loading is of importance for many
                    applications including the study of traumatic brain injury resulting from improvised explosive
                    devices. One key issue in simulating the response of the head is to have models that are
                    characteristic of the response of the head and its components under these conditions. We review
                    different characterization efforts for evaluating the response of the skin, skull, and brain within
                    this window of response and use these results to develop models appropriate for the characterization
                    of each component. We discuss efforts made to construct an artificial head model capable of
                    simulating similar results in a blast environment.
