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… More >
