  • Combat Helmets and Blast Traumatic Brain Injury
    Review Articles Combat Helmets and Blast Traumatic Brain Injury Duncan Wallace, FRANZCP and Stephen Rayner, DPsych (Clinical) Abstract: Background: The conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan and the prominence of traumatic brain injury (TBI), mostly from improvised explosive devices, have focused attention on the effectiveness of combat helmets. Purpose: This paper examines the importance of TBI, the role and history of the development of combat helmets, current helmet designs and effectiveness, helmet design methodology, helmet sensors, future research and recommendations. Method: A literature review was conducted using search terms – combat helmets, traumatic brain injury, concussion, Iraq, Afghanistan and helmet sensors, searching PubMed, MEDLINE, ProQuest and Google Scholar. Conclusions: At present, no existing helmet is able to fully protect against all threats faced on the battlefield. The prominence of traumatic brain injury from improvised explosive devices in the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan has highlighted the limitations in knowledge about blast and how to provide protection from it. As a result, considerable research is currently occurring in how to protect the head from blast over-pressure. Helmet sensors may provide valuable data. Some new combat helmets may be able to protect against rifle rounds, but may result in injuries occurring behind body armour. Optimal combat helmet design requires a balance between the need for protection from trauma and the comfort and practicality of the helmet for the user to ensure the best outcomes. Keywords: combat helmets, traumatic brain injury, concussion, Iraq, Afghanistan. No conflicts of interest were identified by the authors. Introduction Role and history of combat helmets Recent adverse media attention about combat The primary role of the combat helmet is to protect helmets used in Afghanistan by United States the soldier’s head against injury.

Abdelrahman Approved: 7/10/2015 Dr. Gary Smith Date Department Chair ABSTRACT The main causes of human Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) in war zones are ballistic impacts and blast waves. While understanding the mechanism of TBI and the brain injury thresholds are in urgent needs, efficiency of helmets as injury protective is not well-examined. To address these gaps, this study investigates the impact of ballistic helmets and padding systems on the biomechanical responses of the brain under dynamic ballistics and blasts loads. A nonlinear human head-neck finite element modeling procedure has been employed for the analysis. The results are examined against de-facto standard experimental data. The response of the finite element head model (FEHM) in terms of biomechanical parameters of the brain has been examined to measure the influence of padding system materials on the level of the loads transferred to the head.

  • Blunt Impact Performance Evaluation of Helmet Lining Systems for Military and Recreational Use
    Blunt Impact Performance Evaluation of Helmet Lining Systems for Military and Recreational Use Jaclyn Siniora, Ryan Taylor, Darren Suey Industrial Technology Orfalea College of Business Date: June 8, 2012 Abstract: With the increasing problem in collegiate athletes experiencing injuries to the brain, different helmet liners where put to the test to see which liner provided athletes the greatest protection under specific conditions. This senior project evaluates five different liners in football helmets. Each of the helmet liners were tested at three different temperatures: hot, cold, and ambient. Each helmet had seven different impact locations which were put to the test. The project was designed to be used to test ACH military combat liners as well. Due to shipping bottle necks the ACH combat liners have been left to future Cal Poly students to test. This report includes the data generated from testing which will be used to determine which football helmet liner provides the greatest protection. The proposed procedure has been developed and reviewed by Dr. Lou Tornatzky and Dr. Jay Singh. The resulting data will conclude which helmet liner is recommended for the Cal Poly Football team. Acknowledgements: This project would not have been able to be completed if it were not from the help of Mr. Lou Tornatzky our faculty advisor, Mr. Jay Singh our technical advisor, Evan Cernokus and David Guadagnini. The materials and testing equipment were provided by Lansmont, the Cal Poly Football team, and the US Navy.
