Although general blast injury has been studied extensively since the 1950’s, many aspects of mTBI remain unclear, including specific injury mechanisms and injury criteria. The purpose of this work was to develop finite element models to investigate primary blast injury to the head in the loading regimes relevant to mTBI, to use the models to determine the response of the brain tissue, and ultimately to investigate the effectiveness of helmets on response mitigation. Since blast is inherently a wave dominated phenomena, finite element models require relatively small elements to resolve complex pressure wave transmission and reflections in order to accurately predict tissue response. Furthermore, mesh continuity between the tissue structures is necessary to ensure accurate wave transmission. The computational limitations present in analyzing a full three dimensional blast head model led to the development of sagittal and transverse planar models, which provide a fully coupled analysis with the required mesh resolution while remaining computationally feasible. -

F the Head: Numerical Prediction and Evaluation of Protection
Primary Blast Injury of the Head: Numerical Prediction and Evaluation of Protection By Philip A. Lockhart A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Applied Science in Mechanical Engineering Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2010 © Philip A. Lockhart 2010 AUTHOR'S DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii ABSTRACT 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 incidents. The scope of this project was to evaluate the potential for head injury from primary effects in blast environments and to investigate protective aspects of protective equipment and new potential protective designs to mitigate or reduce the likelihood of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). In order to meet these goals, methods of blast loading as well as the kinematic response of the head when subjected to blast loading were investigated numerically and validated against experimental data. This was done for both low and mid heights of burst at varying standoff distances. The methods of loading considered were the basic spherical air burst formulation of the CONventional WEaPons algorithm (CONWEP), an advanced version of the algorithm that included ground reflection and mach stem formation, and a hemispherical surface burst which included ground reflection. -

Honorary Patron of EUSI – Her Honor, Lois Mitchell, Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Feb 2017 is the 105tht Anniversary of the Edmonton UniteD Services Institute EDMONTON UNITED SERVICES INSTITUTE President’s Enews February 2017 The information in this newsletter is for informational purposes only. The Edmonton United Services assumes no liability for any inaccurate, delayed or incomplete information, or for any actions taken in reliance thereon. PresiDent’s Comment Friends and supporters of the EUSI, Kung Hai Fat Choy. This is the Cantonese New Year’s greeting which means hoping you all will have a prosperous year with money befall upon you. This year is the year of the Roaster and Chinese New Year’s Day was on January 28. USA President Trump was sworn in and the world still existed. A renewed Canadian initiative for expanded involvement in the United Nations will see Canadian soldiers in Ukraine, Poland, and Latvia sometime in March. Their role is still not clearly defined. I was at a 408 THS function on January 13 and it was announced at least 8 Griffin helicopters plus logistic support will be deployed to Iraq in early April. Their role and the rules of engagement are not clearly defined. Canada has already deployed 200 soldiers of the Special Forces Branch in Iraq who are reportedly not in a combat role but will engage the enemy for self defence and protect civilians. The airmen and air women in 408 THS will undoubtedly face far more danger and much more susceptible to surface to air missiles then the previously deployed F- 18s.
