However, only recently questions have been asked about how helmet use can influence the shock wave propagation into the brain. In this report we review the research that has been performed on this topic. This research has mostly been of experimental and numerical character. In any case, the results are very clear. Assuming that the helmet is padded so that shock waves can not freely propagate into the space between skull and helmet, it is beneficial for soldiers to use helmets. This will lead to a reduction of the pressure amplitude inside the brain, as well as having the advantage of also protecting against other threats. FFI-RAPPORT 16/02314 3 Sammendrag Det har vært velkjent i lengre tid at sjokkbølger fra eksplosjoner kan forårsake hjerneskade hos militært personell. Imidlertid er det først relativt nylig at det har blitt stilt spørsmål ved om bruk av hjelm kan ha en dempende eller eventuelt forsterkende effekt på trykkforplantningen inn i hjernen.

Hełmy Oraz Okulary I Gogle Ochronne
www.special-ops.pl OD REDAKCJI PARTNERZY PUBLIKACJI ostatnich latach indywidualne osłony balistyczne rozpowszechniły się na tyle, że trudno sobie wyobrazić Wnowoczesną armię z żołnierzami ich pozbawionymi. Rozwój technologii sprawił, że stały się one lżejsze i bardziej wytrzymałe, niż na początku swojego istnienia, a także pozwolił na skonstruowanie osłon organów dotąd trudnych do osłonięcia, jak np. oczy. Współczesny konflikt zbrojny nierozerwalnie wiąże się ze stosowa- niem indywidualnych osłon balistycznych, które wydatnie zmniejszają odsetek zabitych i rannych żołnierzy, choć nie chronią przed każdym zagrożeniem na polu walki. Producenci wdrażają do produkcji coraz nowocześniejsze, lżejsze i skuteczniejsze osłony, a z drugiej strony – konstruowana jest amunicja o coraz większej zdolności raże- nia, w tym przebijania osłon. Wyścig miecza i tarczy, trwający od wieków, trwa nadal... W niniejszej publikacji postaramy się przybliżyć Czytelnikom problematykę związaną z indywidualnymi osłonami balistycznymi, takimi jak kamizelki zintegrowane, plate carriery, hełmy oraz okulary i gogle ochronne. Zaprezen- tujemy też kilka wybranych modeli reprezentatywnych dla poszczególnych grup. Nie jest to oczywiście wyczer- panie tematu – jest on tak obszerny, że materiału starczyłoby na kilka książek – ma ona przybliżyć Czytelnikom podstawowe zagadnienia związane z osłonami balistycznymi, jak choćby normy wytrzymałości, będące kluczo- wym parametrem przy dobieraniu osłon.

Investigation of Primary Blast Injury and Protection Using Sagittal and Transverse Finite Element Head Models
Investigation of Primary Blast Injury and Protection using Sagittal and Transverse Finite Element Head Models by: Dilaver Singh 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, 2015 © Dilaver Singh 2015 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 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 methods to mitigate the effects of primary blast exposure. 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.

CHARACTERIZATION AND MODIFICATION OF HELMET PADDING SYSTEM TO IMPROVE SHOCKWAVE DISSIPATION A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree Master of Science Polymer and Fiber Science by Katelyn Breanne Howay May 2010 Accepted by: Dr. Philip Brown, Committee Chair Dr. Vincent Blouin Dr. Christine Cole ABSTRACT Currently soldiers are being exposed a much higher number of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and the resulting shockwaves. These shockwaves can cause traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) even without the occurrence of ballistic impact. The focus of this research was to reduce the amount of shockwaves soldiers are exposed to by inserting fibers and woven fabrics into a foam padding system. These fibers and fabrics facilitate the dissipation of the shockwave energy before it is able to penetrate the padding and cause TBIs. The sound velocity of high-performance fibers, commodity fibers and woven fabric was measured using a Dynamic Modulus Tester.

RAF Stories: Headgear
LARGE PRINT GUIDE Please return to the box for other visitors. RAF Stories: Headgear Labels start at the top left of the display wall. Founding partner RAF Stories: Headgear The headdresses displayed here represent a snapshot of those worn by members of the Royal Air Force and its associated organisations over the first 100 years of its history. They can have a practical purpose, protecting the wearer from physical or environmental threats and they can also identify and define the organisation, status, role and even religion of the wearer. In the RAF a head covering is worn at all times apart from when indoors and in aircraft operating areas. A headdress is also always worn when saluting. Officer’s Service Dress Cap 1954 Pattern An officer’s Service Dress cap of 2018 is very similar to the cap introduced with the blue grey uniform in the closing months of 1919. This 1954 Pattern cap displays the St Edward’s Crown which marked the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II the year before. 77/U/1413 5 Other Ranks’ Field Service Cap 1943 Pattern As an economy measure in 1943, black plastic buttons and badges replaced the brass examples previously found on the 1936 Pattern cap. 77/U/870 6 Princess Mary’s RAF Nursing Service, Service Dress Hat 1950s In the 1950s, in tropical countries, the blue grey service dress and black hat of the Princess Mary’s RAF Nursing Service was replaced with an all-white uniform including a white felt hat. 68/U/634 7 Other Ranks’ Service Dress Cap 1996 Pattern In 1996 the Other Ranks uniform underwent a number of subtle changes which included the replacement of the metal cap badge with an embroidered version.
